At the market


Knobbly ‘tatoes Blushing tomatoes Onions that will bring a tear to your eye Silky smooth peaches Pinks and greens The sweetest crispest tartest apples you did ever see And bucket-loads of strawberries blueberries red currents Jams and chutneys Marmalades and jellies Pickles and relishes Bread milk cheese and eggs So fresh you can almost hear …
