Tesco driver rang to tell me he would be twenty minutes late. An hour later he rang to say he was lost. I gave him directions and eventually he rolled up with the goods. Sorting out the cupboard, later, I found an egg box. On the lid, in black felt tip, there was a note, PLEASE RETURN. Good excuse for a walk, I thought.
The egg shop is a wooden compartment by the road. Inside, there are lots of eggs (if you are lucky) and an honesty box, for the money. Honey? There's a man with bee hives along the road, who collects the stuff in jars. Last year a cardboard box full of apples, with a Help Yourself sign, suddenly appeared at the end of a neighbour's garden. Self-sufficiency, hey? Who needs Tesco's?
