Marylebone Farmers Market

Erbie and I arrived at Marylebone Farmer’s Market just as everyone began two minutes silence for Rememberance Sunday. We stopped silently in front of the free-range chicken man as everyone in the market stood suspended like statues as the muffled bells of the local church rang in the background. I thought of mum and dad, everyone was united in their thoughts of the dead and fallen then someone cried out ‘thank-you eveybody’ and things recommenced.

‘Are they happy hens?’ I asked,
‘Yes, very’ I was informed – so got a chicken for lunch and a box of eggs.
I also got a bunch of beetroot, carrots, celery and a bag of pears.
Putting Erbie to bed later on this evening I played the alphabet game: ‘Erbie and mummy went to the farmers market and bought..., I got as far a rhubarb when I realised he‘d already dropped into a deep slumber.
