| This looks like the right place Grommit! |
The Tonbridge Farmers Market on Sunday was fantastic. The weather helped as hundreds of people gathered around the sixty or so stalls. Ten of those stalls had come especially since it was Cheese Day at the market. I couldn't believe my fromage-loving eyes when I was confronted with all manner of the fermented curd from farms all over Kent and some from further afield. Wonderful stuff and, to cap it all, Wallace and Grommit came along to join in. That Wallace does like his Wensleydale you know! And so do I and bought about a months supply of different ones while I was there. Other than cheese there were all manner of other tasty treats from pickles and chutneys (anyone know the difference?) Kent apples and pears, meat, fish, beers, wine, cider, breads, chillies, sweets, cakes, olive oils, I could go on and on. In short it was a foodies' delight. There's even a covered food area where you can sit and enjoy your produce or try some hot food from the many stalls around that area serving everything from crepes to pork and apple burgers. Yummy! Just one slight complaint though: no crackers for sale anywhere. Not so much as a Jacobs cream one in sight! Despite this I'll still be back every month without fail. The market takes place every second Sunday of the month and is worth putting in your diary....

We were there again. I reckon it was the best one so far. Marvelous atmosphere, and we spent too much as usual.
Was there a little exitement between mr books and a french mademoiselle?
Don't tell the missus! Well, in truth, the mademoiselle was from Paddock Wood and the only exitement I got was a bite of my daughter's lemon and sugar crepe which cost me £2.50. But we can all dream!
