We got back from Portugal and thanks to a very delayed flight, I had plenty of time to notice there wasn't a vegetable in sight anywhere in the terminal. Unless you count the wilted lettuce leaves in the unending rows of dry overpriced sandwiches.
Now we're home, and summer's clearly winding down whether I'm ready or not.
