The thing I like about shopping at my organic grocer (find it
here)
is that I can actually tell what season it is - which is more than I
can say about the weather. I was delighted to find spring garlic
(looking like dwarf leeks), spring onions and sorrel, lovage and a mad
arrangement of salad leaves on my Saturday shop. While I was in layers
of leggings and leather, dashing from the car park to the trolley bay,
shaking the hail from my hair, inside was SPRING, in the bright and
delicate freshness of her green bounty. I made a lovely light lunch from
some leaves, an avocado and chickpea salad, coriander and creme fraiche
on corn tortillas.
