Sun 10 May 2015, 12:26 Yesterday I was in Presteigne, a very small, rather poor and certainly somewhat isolated town in Powys on the English/Welsh borders. I went into a delightfully old fashioned greengrocers, which doubled as a fish shop, and bought some new potatoes. They were imported from Majorca (sic). Two thousand kilometres. Today I find that the Charlbury Co-op has three different kinds of new potato, including organic. All from Herefordshire, just a few miles from Presteigne. |
