Portobello Road.
Today I went shopping on Portobello road. I got a Pomegrante, two red peppers, 3 zuchinni (called "courgettes" here), a sweet potato, goat cheese, 5 figs, and a loaf of Rosemary and Potato bread. All for under 5 pounds. You can bet this country girl is coming back.
It was all open air, local farmer, organic, and beautiful. Why don't we have this in the states? Why don't farmers have stalls anymore? Why do we shop in Grocery stores? THEY SUCK. Just standing next to the stall made me feel healthy and good. All of the colors and smells of the market were lovely. I talked and joked with the seller while next to her another seller was barking advertisments about what they offered.
This felt wholesome. It felt right. Flourescent lights, blue light specials, canned vegetables.....that feels not right.
Umm....did i mention I really like it here?
