And again rain, rain, rain, pouring rain. To the market for fish, fruit and vegetables. Plenty of parking space and empty stalls. If it had been snow, we would have been buried by now. I feel rich when I am filling bowls with firm apples, grapes, bright orange tangerines and shrivelled cooking pears, now so ugly but after stewing in wine a deep dark red. Delicious with cream or fat Greek yoghurt. Comfort food in wintertime, cinnamon and dark muscovado sugar sprinkled on top. 
Quite a surprise today, an unexpected guest for dinner. How nice to share sparkling white wine and freshly cooked food in good company.
