We had pomegranate seeds today. Handpicked from the land of Naples.
I was asked to tell the story of Proserpine or Persephone - according to Greek and Roman myth she ate 6 pomegranate seeds and so had to stay in the underworld for 6 months. There's more to the story, so do look it up, or come on one of our tours for more Greek and Roman myths!
The seeds were super tasty too, and I loved how they brought together friendship, the present day, myth and history! Quite magical! X
