Dragan Vivoda’s store on Gradiziol is always worth visiting. In addition to his wines and brandies, he sells all sorts of fruits and vegetables. Grown on his land around Motovun, the offer changes over the year. Right now, the store is stuffed full with cherries and nothing but cherries. I like the fruit, but this year I have not felt the pull to eat more than a few at a time until this morning. The day is rather nice, and I suddenly saw myself reclining on my terrace, munching cherries, and spitting the pits into the garden underneath. Enticed by this unexpected vision, I bought quite a load. My light lunch.
