Here's to real food grown in a Space of Love

Sunday morning and I'm having my favourite breakfast again. It's my mixed fruit, nuts and seeds, coconut and delicious live yoghurt. It's so full of goodness and beauty with all those colourful chopped fruits in my bowl. The only problem today is - all the fruit has NO FLAVOUR WHAT-SO-EVER!!! What a disappointment!

When the fruit is good, this breakfast is nothing short of Divine, but it's March, the fruit's been shipped thousands of kilometers to get to my plate. Most of it has been picked unripe so it can survive the long journey, most of it fed with substances to make it look nice and grow big quickly, but unfortunately all of it lacking in any real benefit for my body. 

It has no nice aromas and NO FLAVOUR and therefore no real nutrition in there either - how can it have! I can't tell you what a let down this is for me. And if one thing is going to make me leave this modern way of life and go live on the land, it's the poor state of our fruit and veg the likes of which I've had to suffer most of my life. However I do remember the many trips to southern Italy as a boy with my family, all the big family meals outside, al fresco. All those tasy vegetable dishes, salads, rich tomato sauces, watermelons, peaches and of course... the villagers local wine! The food was absolutely delicious, most, if not all of it, grown locally and with loving hands - what a joy that was. 

Anyone who's ever grown anything in a garden or allotment knows the richness of flavour that is easily possible when you grow your food organically, naturally and with Love and can pick it yourself with joy and have it in your mouth within minutes. The aromas, the beauty and the flavours blow your mind and send your taste buds and emotions into ecstatic bliss everytime. You feed yourself with a smile on your face and feel joy inside at the true nourishment you receive. And you see it touches the whole of you, not just your body but your emotions, happiness levels, uplifting everything.
