Late Season


The two-word message, “Late Season”, on the black label of a Sunkist orange in June signifies that this kind of oranges is the last lot of the harvesting season. This obviously means that sweet oranges from America will disappear in our market for some time.

Soon different kinds of oranges from South Africa and Australia replace the first-class ones from the States. They are paler in flesh and skin and less sweet even if they are navels. We have to bear the sourness of the current oranges until the sweet oranges come again in a few months’ time.

in my mind, tangerines are only produced in China. This year I find that I am totally wrong. United States and Pakistan are also tangerine-growers. I first discover Sunkist tangerines several months ago. My grand-daughters love them and so I buy quite a lot to satisfy the two girls after dinner.

A Special Rainy Day for Elly

Elly was happy on her sister’s graduation day of kindergarten (June 16) because it rained heavily the whole morning, a very strong reason which she could bring her new umbrella along to attend the ceremony.

We arrived earlier than Elly and her mother. As Elly was stepping on the stairs at the doorway, I stopped her and told her to turn round so that I could take a few photos of her with her purple umbrella.


Well, I could read the cheerful smile on her face though water was still dripping down where she stood. Here are three interesting and memorable photos of Elly with her favourite umbrella.
