If the colour of spring is yellow, the colour of summer must be red. Tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, and these delicious cherries. I love the enlivening pillar-box red of ripe tomatoes and strawberries, but I also love the dark red of the cherry. These cherries are almost black.

The shiny skins are so enticing, and they almost look too heavy for the delicate stalks. 

Time to play ‘tinker tailor’…
