Borough Market today, 22nd December. Mrs King at the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie stall smiled as I arrived near 1pm - but there were only three game pies left! Soon there was only one. For some years now I have purchased a white wooden box with clementines - but almost all the boxes had gone and those that were left were in a sad state! So for the first year in living memory I bought clementines in blue cardboard boxes! But the atmosphere was superb - and I bought a tasty loaf to have with my cheeses.
