Exciting Find
I walked my mum up Leith Walk this evening to get the train, and found myself ambling down it again at about 6:30pm. Dougal had texted to ask me to get spring onions and if poss coriander for tea. I thought ‘no probs’ as I was still at the top of the walk (Haddington Place/Elm Row) and so would be able to pop into one of the half a dozen asian grocers between there and the flat.
Before I got to any of said Asian Grocers, I discovered that Tattie Shaws , the fab little green grocers that looks like a green grocers ought to look (great piles of multicoloured produces stacked and hanging at the door) is still open at that time of night! Having bought all that I needed (plus a butternut squash and a sweet potato) I enquired as to whether they were normally open this late. The shopkeeper said that for the time being they were open till 7pm.
This is exciting news. Once I start uni (six weeks, eek!) I will be walking home down Leith Walk any evening I have been in. It is brilliant to know that this fantastic shop- gorgeous fresh, seasonal veg; a great selection of tinned and packaged goods; very fairly priced- will still be open, even if I am a bit late home. I’ll be able to see what looks nice as I pass and cook tea accordingly. They even had radicchio.
good to find nice shops selling good stuff :)
You’re starting uni?? What and Why? I’d ask How and When but the latter has been answered and the former a tad offensive and condescending!
I thought this post might bring someone out of the woodwork; I would never have expected it to be you! I was sure I’d told you but perhaps I just told Miss Leith. Will tell you in person :o)
(Oh and I got in on the merit of my highers. Degree had nowt to do with it!)
