Cheese Wheel Cut on St Johns Tea House Tray

A thick wedge of pale yellow cheese rests on a dark wooden serving board, its cut surface revealing a dense, creamy texture. North-window sidelight floods the foreground, highlighting the crumbly edge where a silver knife has just separated the slice. The board sits on a rustic tea house tray, surrounded by scattered crumbs and a small sprig of fresh mint. Deep shadows gather in the corners of the room where warm lamplight settles, against the cool daylight. The background blurs into soft shapes of wooden chairs and ceramic cups, suggesting a quiet morning gathering in St Johns. One crumb rests on the blade's tip.
