Assembly with pudding

Perhaps the fifth or sixth white pudding of the season, including hogs' puddings in the count. Perhaps the sixteenth crinkly cabbage, allowing one a week from February. But the first cherries, these ones from Spain at £6.60 the kilo.

I was not completely sure when I got them from a stall in the market this morning, but they have turned out to be very good. A fortnight later than the first cherries noticed last year, at reference 1. As it happens, we took most of them after rhubarb on this occasion, but without any untoward effect in consequence.

The stall-man said that he had got up at around 0330 in order to get to the strawberry market. One had to admire the effort, but I am no longer a great fan of strawberries. Not a patch on those I remember picking during a rose tinted childhood.
