Sorry I've not updated for a while! We recently returned from a trip to Hokkaido. We visited a fruit orchard there, which was simply glorious. After paying a small admission fee, we could wander freely in the orchard, and pluck as much fruit as we wanted to eat. It was amazing to be there, surrounded by God's bounty - the enormous red apples, giant green pears, and deep purple grapes growing on their vines. It was amazing to choose an apple or pear growing on its tree, pluck it, and enjoy its sweet, natural, juicy taste immediately. I felt God's presence there very strongly, and His wonderful blessings - I thought about how marvellous it was that He provided us with such wonderful fruit to eat and enjoy!
