My partner and I invited his father and stepmother to visit us in our new home. I was fascinated by this couple even before I met them, and when I met them, I fell in love with them. He is in his 70s, and she is in her 80s. Their love story is beautiful, and both of them are wise persons from whom I learn a lot.
We were looking for some local flowers to decorate our home for their visit, but we couldn't find any. When we returned home, I noticed that the fruits and vegetables looked wonderful and already served as decorations.
These days, it is possible to get unpackaged courgettes and peppers (they come from Spain), Danish tomatoes in cardboard packaging, Danish strawberries in cardboard packaging, Danish cucumbers in plastic, unpackaged Danish spring onion, unpackaged lemons and mushrooms in cardboard packaging wrapped in thin plastic film.
When we buy fruits and vegetables, we prefer to buy local, seasonal and organic ones. But we also consume imported fruits and vegetables, so our practice is not perfect.
