Cherries
I love cherries.
They are the fruit of love.
Each and every year I work on a cherry festival, the Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival, a town in the south west of Western Australia.
This year, because of much needed torrential rain, rain that has filled many a country dam, a number of growers will struggle to fill a bucket in time for the festival hordes. However, as is always the case in this wondrous world in which we live, other growers will have more than usual. It’s the weather. It doesn’t hit us all the same.
Here is the cherry according to Wikipedia:
The word cherry refers to a fleshy fruit (drupe) that contains a single stony seed. The cherry belongs to the family Rosaceae, genus Prunus, along with almonds, peaches, plums, apricots and bird cherries. The word “cherry” comes from the French word “cerise”, which comes in turn from the Latin words cerasum and Cerasus.
Interesting. And there’s more:
The cherry is generally understood to have been brought to Rome from northeastern Anatolia, historically known as the Pontus region, in 72 BC.
That’s probably enough. If you want to know more about what happens in Manjimup on the weekend of the 13th of December, 2008, take a look at these sites.
