DPP Day 24: To Market, To Market . . .

I am told that a major holiday is scheduled to take place within the next few days or so, which (apparently) is the cause for the hundreds and thousands of shoppers who were clogging up most of the sidewalks and store aisles in Edinburgh today. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a leisurely stroll to the weekly farmers' market, where we purchased a fat pig (well, part of him or her) and some cider made by one of our favourite brewers. The market was lovely and exciting, as ever.
