Up a £1 on last year. Outrageous, no wonder Labour got a hammering yesterday! Miles Cid,

Now some of those went towards the juicer with the remains of a ripe pineapple... but for dinner, steamed asparagus with a sort of up market fry up with Cotswold Legbar eggs... strawberries were good enough to eat on their own. The weight of groceries I carried home pointed to a major shop but then my purse felt very light too .... the new asparagus was nearly £2 for a small bunch enough for one and so it went on. Mustn't complain though, everything was top quality, packed with goodness and on the doorstep. Cid Miles,

I don't expect everyone to grow their own of go foraging but I think it's useful to know what to look out for in your local shop. Miles Cid,

One thing I do know is that fruit and veg always look better and are less likely to get squashed in a proper basket, everyone should have one. Thanks for this post Miles, it's always interesting to know what's at its best and what's going on in the hedgerow. Cid Miles,
