Farmers’ Markets, I’ve just one complaint,
If I mosie on down to acquaint,
When, for sliver of cheese,
Man says, “Fifteen Pounds, please”,
My eyes roll and I come over faint.

Way back when, there was a big farmers’ market in Winchester. We went through a phase where we went every week. It was never cheaper than Sainsbury’s, although the quality was of course better. Plus, we needed to supplement the trips with a visit to the supermarket anyway, to pick up wasking-up liquid.

We do similarly. Meat from the butcher. Eggs from a farm shop nearby. Yogurt and cheese from another farm shop in Forest Row. At this time of year, I also buy fruit from pop-up stands in the lay-by, and veg from locals. Basics and tinned goods from the supermarket delivery. Times and shopping habits have changed for us.

We used to do something along those lines. For several years, we sent daughter to a private tutor for a few hours on a Saturday morning, it was an ideal window to go shopping for bits and bobs. Now, it’s more… difficult. Now, it’s more important to do things in one hit.

Well, as observed, the quality is probably better but it won’t be cheaper.

Recently I discovered a bed sore because I generally spend so much time on my ass. But I never developed a sore before. It’s just like a graze.
