There was a french market in Daventry last weekend - I've only just got around to getting the photos up on flickr.
This isn't a regular event, just a one off, so we went to have a look around.
Lots of nice things to eat there, but the thing that stood out most was the fruit stall. We bought various types of fruit (greengages, mirabelles, peaches, apricots) and they were all utterly delicious. Juicy and full of flavour. It's so hard to find nice fruit in this country that I hardly ever bother buying any. Fruit in supermarkets is always picked underripe and is usually hard and tasteless, and decent greengrocers are increasingly hard to find.
It was nice to be reminded what some of these things taste like - it's just a pity the market isn't there every week.
