Balmy weather.

A picnic on the college lawn.

Young gods lazily sprawl on a blanket.

A Fortnum & Mason hamper
waits to feed the voracious youth.

Dionysus has his eye on a bottle
of Bollinger, his favourite nectar. 

Eve watches a man with a prominent
Adam's apple, chomping noisily
on a Cox's Orange Pippin.

She is tempted to join him, and does.

Very soon only a core is left.

Great IP response, thank you Luigi - it's a really ingenious one this week isn't it!

It was quite a challenge, Claudine. Every week I have to squeeze my brain to come up with something suitable. But if it produces a 'cherry ' (for which I thank you, BTW), it's worth the effort.

Kind regards, Luigi x

A university for young gods is a BRILLIANT idea! And you hint at all the different kinds of knowledge to be learned. Fabulous IP response, Luigi, Thank you :0)

Very pleased with your approval, Di. I tried to experiment with a different style for this week's I.P., and it seems to have worked.

Best wishes, Luigi x
