The Fig Tree

I went to the town centre recently, and I passed by the fig tree. The one I mentioned before, time and again. It's not the only fig tree in town, but obviously fig trees are fairly rare, so I noticed this one easily. It's in one of my favourite spots in town, a narrow alleyway that barely anyone notices. The figs are still green, as you can see, I don't think they really truly mature in this country. I associate figs and fig trees with Italy, because the first time I ever ate fresh ones (and fresh from a tree) was during my time in Italy.

    I would love to try a fresh fig. We don't get them here as they don't grow in our climate, but I do enjoyed the dried ones that we can buy easily at the grocers.
