Quietish at Borough Market this week early on and vaguely sunny to welcome the opening of the extra Christmas Market with it's giant snow flakes dangling from the ceiling and festive tunes from the Salvation Army Band in full voice and full regalia. Lots of people queueing to place their yuletide orders.
The promise of special things makes everyone seem cheerful.
I bought a chicken at Wyndhams and two carcasses for stock - £6
I bought some topside at Ginger Pig and a lovely meaty rack of pork ribs and some eggs - £16.80
Apples from Chegworth Valley from their new stand in the xmas hall but they have no scales so pricing is approximate - £1.20
Chick peas and carrots from Total Organics £2.85
Potatoes, spinach, cabbage, onions, garlic, sugar snaps - and a fresh hairy coconut - from Booths - £6.50
On the way back to Ginger Pig was delighted to see the Irish smoked salmon people at their stall - they've missed a few weeks because bad weather made the ferry crossing impossible - so I bought a tub of their finest salmon for a treat - £3.50
Then to Ginger Pig again for a hot sausage roll and a scotch egg - £6
Bought 3 green peppers, 2 aubergine and a cucumber from Tony (but not a partridge in a pear tree) - £3.40
Bread, milk and yoghurt from Neals Yard - £6.80
No chocolate brownie for my lovely one this week - he's worried about the volume of sweet treats he consumes all of a sudden - and there was still a few biscuits left in the Duchy of Cornwall box in the fridge in case of emergencies
A bargain week - £53.05
