“If you pick strawberries in the dark, by touch, it is a wonderful feeling. You can smell them all around you, but they are completely invisible. Then you grope under the plants in the warm straw and your knees sink in and you find them, infinitely soft and scented…”
(From ‘Letter for Tomorrow‘ by Rosemary Ross Skinner)

10th July, 1969
This was one of my favourite John Lentel pieces.
Everyone should try picking strawberries in the dark at least once in their lives.
