The Grapes of Wrath?

Rhubarb emerging, as if by a miracle, on my allotment plot.

Brexit!  Love it, or hate it, we are heading towards being non-Europeans rapidly, and the spectre of a ‘no deal’ exit from the EU is becoming ever more likely.

People are panic-buying already, so i hear. And  some might  have sleepless nights over how we will cope if there are food shortages.  And while out walking today,  i had this thought:  Maybe more people will question their shopping and eating habits, and consider supporting locally grown produce, over that flown or shipped  half way round the world?  Maybe more people will consider buying directly from farmers and producers, and come and meet the people who grow and produce what they put on the table, at farmer’s markets?

Through the din of political mischief, and the cloud of looming despair: that was quite a nice, sunny thought – to be walking home with.
