At The Market
Jul. 11th, 2009 11:26 amIt’s raining steadily today, which means there will be fewer outside sellers and car booters down at the market but I decide to go anyway; I’ve nothing else to do. First off I see some fine plants for sale and snap up this Pelargonium ‘Cornish Flair’ for £3.50.
As I’m first on the scene I pick the best one, with lots of buds. When this variety was introduced, plants cost about £20.00 each, so I’m pleased. New geranium stowed safely in the car, I make my way inside and buy a new-old basket to replace the ancient one which is becoming a barbed menace to fellow shoppers. The seller says gallantly that he will tell his wife the basket has gone to ‘an equally lovely lady’. He reduces the price, too. ( inside )
