Thank you for that post about pockets, it's a really good idea! Something that a pickpocket wouldn't be expecting either. I have an ankle skirt that has its pockets at the hem, entry from the top, which is surprisingly convenient when one is sitting down.

One of the few things I miss about living in New York was being able to buy summer fruit by the kilo at the Union Square greenmarket. In most places that I've lived since, buying enough peaches for a peach crumble (or cherries!) would cost more than the week's groceries.
