Free Range Watermelons!

Next to the sunflowers, a farmer was selling home grown water melons from the back of his trailer and even though we only had a few days lefts in Italy we could resist joining the steady trickle of weightlifters. I say weightlifters as you can’t imagine how big and heavy the watermelons were. To see an old lady struggle to her car carrying one of these monsters was a strange sight – I thought she must have bought three, until I got up close! We asked for a ‘piccolo’ sized one and I couldn’t carry it (even if I hadn’t just had a hernia operation!)
