sunflowers and shopping

Was a lovely afternoon, dry but a bit dull at times...enough of the weather forecast....

Needed to get some veggies , and was not up to going to the supermarket....


I much prefer to shop here....


It is excess produce by a local organic small steading.
They have an honesty box and two stalls....one with plants ons pots of herbs.....


And the other with there weighed out produce , in brown bags with prices marked on them....



It is just the most tasty fruit & veg ever!

I got tatties, carrots, onions, fresh peas, aubergine, courgettes, tomatoes, parsley, kale, a bag of beetroot, a cucumber....
And something else which I can't think of right now, for £5!

Yummy!

They also sell bunches of mixed flowers from the garden ....£1 a bunch!
these sweet peas were so pretty and smelt divine!






I love the mix of colours and the yellow mini sunflower is soooo cute!

They only had one bag of carrots on the stall, so I asked the lady who owns it if they had any....she wandered off to get me some, and her hubby cycled back up the field a few minuets with some he had just pulled for me!


Now you DON'T get that in tescos!!!

After you get your shopping , you can wander over and see the horses.....


Although Poppy was so not impressed at her best mate Belle & Emma going to see them and not taking her with them!!
So we ended the day off with a walk in the woods.....


On our way to the veggie stall, we stopped to admire a field of sunflowers...
this picture dose not do them justice....they were just beautiful!
I need to go back on a sunnier day and get closer picture of them......


All in all a pleasant afternoon.

Good wholesome shopping... I so wish that I had space to grow my own vegetables...

Your shopping experience is not only good value for money, excellent for health but such a great learning experience for little un... x
