Oh yes, you can stuff your… We are looking forward to this:

Nineteen days of reason to move to the North East, beginning May 3rd. If you like food. Who needs the snooty, overpriced, and soon to be pulled down Borough market, with its oafish media types playing snazzy barista attitudes on a Monday morning after struggling through the tube. We’re free!

(Although you recognise all of that was tongue in the proverbial cheek. Every food market is to be relished, not ripped down for some travel connection.)

Particularly looking forward to the taster market and finding the local producers, which has not been easy. Even Abel & Cole don’t come this far east. And the Fish on the Tyne weekend, although we’ll only squeeze in a fillet of it on the Sunday, as we’re driving up from London with T’s truckful of belongings.

Endings, new beginnings… food fulfils such a philosophical need in us, as well as a carbohydrate requirement.
