Watermelons are back on the streets again and a sure sign if any was needed that summer is well and truly here.
The number of days between the respite of a cooling rain shower grows longer and cicadas slowly reach an ear piercing pitch. The heat rising off the tarmac warms your legs when you venture outside.
Watermelons are piled high on every corner or stacked up on the back of cars, carts and lorries.
Just like last year I have recipes in my head but in reality all I do when I get home is peel and cube the sweet refreshing fruit and eat it cold from the fridge for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
What’s going on in your hood this week?
