illustration friday - trouble

There will be trouble this summer as my most favourite stone fruits including cherries and apricots are not only likely to be very expensive, but perhaps not available at all!!! This is due to a snap frost a few weeks ago in the stone fruit growing regions which destroyed so many fruits. This is on the back of almost a year without reasonably priced bananas. Currently bananas retail between AUD$12.99 to $16.99 per kg!! Last Xmas a box of about 1kg of cherries cost AUD$30.00!! I cannot imagine the prices of these fruits this summer...boooooo :(
