Last week’s market had a drizzly start. So it was wonderful to see so many of you, umbrellas unfurled, spirits un-dampened, shopping at the market as usual. Those who braved the elements to arrive for the market’s opening were able to snap up peaches and raspberries – still available, though now in short supply.
