We nipped (or popped, if you prefer) to North Street this afternoon. Lunch in Cafe Ceiturica (mixed skewers for me, and a rather nice mackerel for Pete (seems like a fair swap)).

Then to the deli for crispbread, Green and Black’s choccie and bread flour, and then to the greengrocer. Where they had the first local asparagus of the season. We fell upon it with cries of glee, and into the basket it went, with the organic lemons and carrots, chillis, celery and flat leaf parsley.

Not sure what we’ll do with it yet, but we’ll enjoy it!
