No Vegetables

I was off to Skalitsa early this morning as I had to water the newly laid strawberries put in the ground over the weekend., It has been warm every day without rain so they needed tending to. This was also a chance to dig over the ground for the coming winter. It was to be an extended weekend for me.

Part of my chores this morning was to get some cabbage, leeks and carrots for salads to last over the four days I was to be there. Arriving at the shops as 7:30 in the morning, it was just my luck that all the shops that sold these vegetables didn't open until 9:00. I wasn't prepared to wait, so it was off to the village 35 kilometres away without any vegatables. They don't sell vegetables in the village as everyone grows them and there is no demand. It's like "Water, water everywhere ,but not a drop to drink!"
