Good Greens, Bad Greens

Firstly Bad Greens.
Bought a cabbage from a Stamford stall last week. It was rotten inside. Old knackered stock. Even though it was cheap it was useless. Wont be shopping on that stall again. It's so important for us all to sell good stuff even if it is cheap stuff.

Secondly Good Greens.
A group called Groundwork had the charity stall opposite me. Really nice people: young, enthusiastic, keen. They made me feel jaded and grumpy. The group were gathering info on what the good folk of South Kesteven thought about climate change so that the South Kesteven and District Council could be better informed about opinion on this issue. Which when I thought about it seemed a bit daft. Surely what is needed is action on climate change not the gathering of opinion? It's as though the Council are worried about what people might think. They might as well ask what people thought about bubonic plague or influenza for all the good it would do. The important thing is to be out there planting the trees, insulating houses, cycling to work and getting folk to wear vests in the winter.
