Out of Town. Delicious market

Pant, pant, catch breath....... just in the door from the market below. It was vibrant, buzzing with puropseful, discerning shoppers and undercover too. The food was marvellous, with a great variety of home producers and bakers : delicious veggie Anatolian stuff, amazing creamy cheshire yogurt , crumbly home made granola, piles of organic veg, home made curry pastes and pasta sauces, free range veal, trays of eclectic aromatic mushrooms.... hang on we're coming over all Nigel Slater. Any way try to get to the next one, its really worth the short drive/ cycle. Excuse me while I wipe the crumbs from my mouth....

Oh, what a blamed uncertain thing
This pesky weather is;
It blew and snew and then it thew,
And now, by jing, it's friz!
