The market was remarkably quiet Saturday morning - stalls were laden but the crowds were thin. The air is cooler and the light is softer - definitely moving towards shorter days and colder nights.
My very first stop this week was Wyndhams who now sell a full range of meat as well as poultry in a revamped shop. I needed to make some stock so bought 4 carcasses and then added a couple of chicken breasts for dinner - £9.40
Then to Ginger Pig and the man liked sausages so much last week we bought loads more this week and some unsmoked bacon - £12.30
Next door at Silfield I bought a couple of wild boar chops to try something new - £6.90
Pork pie from Mrs Elizabeth King - what with rugby weekend and all - £4.90
Eggs from Lizzie at Wild Beef - £1.25
Chocolates for Mandy's birthday treat - £2
Apples and a pear to go with cheese from Chegworth Valley - £1.50
Booths had a fine display of mushrooms again this week but not the puffball slices. I bought potatoes, carrots, lettuce, beans, sugarsnaps, green pepper, nectarine, bananas, onions and sweet potatoes - £8
I bought a baguette from Marché du France for a change - £1
Neals Yard for milk bread and yoghurt - £7.90
Last of all was almond croissant and chocolate brownie - £3.50
A not unreasonable £58.65 for the week
