When I designed a card for Christmas this year, I thought about how I celebrated it in Mauritius — surrounded by the most amazing flavour-packed tropical fruit, because December is summer in the southern hemisphere!
As I cut open yet another subpar imported mango this week, I also thought about how I often failed to appreciate the extremely ripe bright orange mangoes that grew in my parents’ backyard. And this made me miss spending Christmas in the tropics even more.
