DTVs Responsive Website

DTV Sign Language – Conversational Skills Part 18

We eat fruit all year round, hopefully as part of a healthy five-a-day habit, but summer always offers a wider variety of fruit. Not forgetting the exciting (and sometimes naughty) ways of eating fruit – a fruit sorbet, a FroYo, fruit salad, and even braai’d fruit kebabs.
