Mountain flowers

You can see this is an old photo; it's from when my camera was new. We went to Cerler, the highest Pyrenean ski resort in Aragon. I found this patch of spectacular flowers which turned out be aconite; monk's hood (of course it's terribly poisonous) but aren't they pretty?

Tomatoes, figs

One of the nice things about being home; just one of them, is eating Jaca tomatoes. What are they like? Big, dark red, soft and sweet. Some are quite ugly and misshapen, but that doesn't matter, they are delicious. I don't know if they are only grown on allotments; they couldn't possibly be sold in big places because they are almost as squashy as the figs I bought from a woman selling garden produce outside the cathedral this morning, and would disintegrate if roughly handled.
In the spring I bought a tomato plant, tended and watered it, and missed all the fruit while I was in England in the summer. No matter, the ones you can buy now are better than anything else!
