PRE CHRISTMAS MARKET

Woke about 5 a.m. as usual for this time of year and got straight up and out to the Growers' Market to beat the crowds.

It was pleasant.  We bought everything on my list but, as we were half way home, Doug said we didn't get bananas.  We had bought a few at the supermarket yesterday but they are not nearly as nice so we turned off at the next intersection and went back to the Market where it was starting to get busy.  

Altogether we bought watercress, avocados, tomatoes (ours are growing but a fair way off yet), red onions, delicious peaches, beetroot and beans as we are not picking quite enough just yet as well as the bananas.  We did not plan on buying any plants but a couple jumped into my arms on the way  to the car, a Lavatera and a Campanula.




Legs of lamb were on special yesterday in the supermarket so I slow roasted one today while I wrapped the great-granddaughters' presents.

A good day and a fairly lazy one.
