It surprises me just how often I have my finger on the pulse of current affairs. This should read more along the lines of, it’s surprising how often I appear to have my finger on the pulse of current affairs. I’m more likely to trip over current affairs on Facebook than feel their pulse in the street.
However, yet again here I am, with the nation, obsessed with tomatoes.
I have been developing garments with large tomatoes printed on them. These items, in the current climate, will be the perfect wardrobe addition for the stylish tomato loving European who finds themself trapped on a small island lacking in tomatoes. They could be the perfect remedy for a person who is sad at their tomatoless state and needs cheering up. My favourite option may be that one of these garments could be the perfect ironic gift for a fashion conscious brexiteer who thinks that the current lack of those lovely, shiny red fruits is due to something other than brexit.
Whichever is your preferred option the long sleeved top will soon to be available in the fattart products Etsy shop. There’s the tomato tea towel option, but it is much more kitchen centric and difficult to wear, obviously.
In addition to garments and tea towels, tomatoes have been on my mind as I’m going to give up eating deadly nightshade plants for a while as a gift to my gut.
What better time to give up tomatoes than when you can’t get them anyway?
