First market visit in three weeks. Last two Saturdays were wet enough that many of the vendors didn’t go either. But today happily sunny and shirtsleeve weather. Even a cactus in the grounds is sporting its spring decorations.
Criegan is out enjoying the weather and the full breakfast that the market offers so we stop for a chat. And the bookstall has a deal. Donate four books and get one free. So we bring back four and get to choose a new one. And remember the early days of our travels when English books were almost unobtainable in non-English countries. Occasionally now we come across the title of some obscure book and think we read that, but why? The answer is that one year, early in this century, we found it and it was in English.
Sunny enough also to wash sheets - or, more to the point, to dry them. Was yesterday as well, although then Zoe pointed out that it would be wise to double peg them lest they end up in someone else’s garden.
And in the spirit of sun colour, I make lemon curd. Four ingredients - lemons, sugar, butter and eggs. But the deep yellow comes not from the lemon or butter but from the free range egg yolks. Would make it more often if it weren’t so sinfully rich.
