SIMULACRA CORNER

Have a heart

We publish these images in anticipation of St Valentine’s Day. Jason Moore was picking up apples in his garden when he came across this Valentine fruit, while Daniel Barton writes: “This perfect heart shape of lollo rosso was on the back of a lettuce leaf that garnished my wife’s scampi and chips at the Briardene pub in Whitley Bay one day last October.” We are always glad to receive pictures of spontaneous forms and figures, or any curious images. Send them (with your postal address) to Fortean Times, PO Box 2409, London NW5 4NP or to sieveking@forteantimes.com.
