Saturday is market day and happily the weather couldn’t be better. High today expected to be 19 or 20 but much warmer than that in the direct sun, although as we live on the north slopes of a mountain range the direct sun disappears somewhat before official sunset time. Think the market opens at eight - possibly even seven - but we get there a little after nine.
The Tulips stall, supporting cancer patients, has advertised that they will be selling linen and towels and blankets this week. Along with their regular stock of books, CDs, homemade cakes, and general white elephant type items. We’re not in need of sheets and blankets but do seem to use towels faster than we wash them so pleased to add a few and support a worthy charity at the same time.
Haven’t seen the old man who sold us the excellent honey for a couple of weeks. Honey now nearly gone. Some local honey available at the market this time but significantly more expensive. So we’ll give him another week to reappear and then decide on plan B. Remember when we were in China, nearly thirty-five years ago now, people said that if you saw something you really wanted you should buy it and not assume the same thing would be available later or elsewhere. The same seems to apply to markets.
