I've never been but I must admit it does look quite interesting especially the fresh food stalls in the market. I've never been able to face tripe but my mum loved it! An old friend of mine is a lover of pig's trotters! I'm OK with liver and kidneys but I confess that most offal isn't my idea of good eating. It's more the thought of it than anything and maybe if I was hungry enough I might be less picky! Love the roundabout, that is so nice.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-45537440010015471882010-07-19T14:06:57.944+01:002010-07-19T14:06:57.944+01:00i love that market diane....you are so lucky to ha...i love that market diane....you are so lucky to have all that on your doorstep. how wonderful to be able to shop like that again, i bet we would be more inventive with that kind of produce.elsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10878850503687623060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-43881151819643380152010-07-19T12:24:57.186+01:002010-07-19T12:24:57.186+01:00That was a lovely tour.
