On the way to the farmers market I noticed a) a woman wearing a short dress with bare legs (brave), b) more than the usual number of casual smokers hanging around outside (very brave, considering), and c) a plethora of small children who, for once, did not resemble miniature Michelin men.

Once at the market, things were alive like they havent been in weeks; loads of vendors, throngs of shoppers and oodles of veg awaited me. I didnt have long to linger, as lunch with friends at vegan restaurant Saf awaited me. Still, I found lots of goodies for the week ahead.

The array of onions are for an onion tart Im considering making later in the week, to be enjoyed with a fresh salad. Leeks are always a favourite, and these ones are destined for a cheesy, leeky version of Welsh rarebit.
