The greengrocer was selling 'cheeries' this afternoon.
I couldn't help smiling.
Because that's what they are.
Cheery.

I love greengrocer writing. I wonder where they learn it?
My w.v was 'pure old' that ought to be the name of their typeface!

Should have been cheerie's, though, Lucille ... not the same without a stray apostrophe!

But they are, very.

Don't say that, Ali - I've just eaten a big bowl of strawberries.
