Saturday, November 23/2024


 Saturday is market day and unlike last week - also unlike the predictions for today - the weather is lovely. Low twenties and clear. 

Tulips, the cancer support stall, is featuring Christmas items - decorations, CDs, cards, fruitcake and such. Actually not really things we want, but it’s cheerful. Do buy a couple of samosas from a man recommended by Beverley who has been bringing curries to the market for the last couple of weeks. They’re small but very good, with a fair kick of heat. Also, from a different booth, a couple of Chelsea buns. After which I discover that my definition of Chelsea bun is inaccurate. Included nuts and way more dried fruit. Guess that is sometimes the case, but really if you want a sticky sweet extravaganza then make your own. Which I have no intention of doing - and would charge A LOT for - if J let them leave the house at all.
