It's not summer until you've eaten watermelon...

Well, ironically, less than 24 hours after my rant about needing an umbrella in summer, the sun had his hat on today - hip-hip-hip-hooray!

So what better way to celebrate, than with the quintessential messy summer fruit, the watermelon?


The Dirty Dancing inspired blog post I carried a watermelon...?! written by moi last summer, was rather popular it seems (according to the stats, dontchaknow!) - either that, or my readers are quite fond of melons *ahem*...


Maybe as I am feeling fruity I might try to make some watermelon ice cubes for a refreshing summer drink with a twist, or perhaps spike a watermelon for one of your five-a-day with a kick!

Be warned, as this delicious fruit is made up of around 91% water, prepare to make a few trips to powder your nose and spend a penny....and on that note, I've gotta dash!
