H(anna)h embrace their emotional calendars. Laquo; Exploring Beijing: Great Walls and Giant Whips. The call of the tomato. August 10, 2011 by hannahaa. Here’s the thing: I really love tomatoes. Spain has amazing fruit. Melocotones and ciruelas, frambuesas and cerezas – the cerezas (cherries) were particularly spectacular, especially when picked straight off the tree on a hot afternoon. Cherry picking, somewhere past Leon. Rainy and 71 degrees. Anna: 7 out of 10. Just ate a tomato. I’ve got tomatoes...
