I’ve been to Broadway Market with M. and W. a cute buzzing little farmer market in Hackney with a range of organic products and produce from soap to cheese to vegetables to cakes and crafts, fish, pasta and fresh baked wholegrain bread chock-full of seeds. It was busy when we got there but in a good way. I bought some really nice award winning mature Cheshire cheese some smoked cheese, coriander/garlic olives and a fresh chorizo sausage.
It was a beautiful day, the weather was amazing so we had lunch at the park. M. and W. gave me a gorgeous Royal Albert tea set, ‘Elfin’ from the 1950’s. Pastel green inside, a floral pattern on the outside and of course guilded rims, much nicer than the Noritake set. It’s original English which is what I initially wanted, it’s a really special gift! When I got home I baked a rosemary and garlic focaccia and had a delicious dinner with two different cheeses, chorizo and olives.
It was such a nice relaxing day!
