A day in St Ives

Last night we ate out at the Welcome Chinese Restaurant which we enjoyed very much.  I was expecting the standard take-away menu but the food was much better than that - well spiced and very tasty.

We are spending today in the town and taking a rest from cruising.  This morning we looked at the monthly farmers market.  Despite the advertising saying that it had won a national award the stalls seemed limited to me with less choice than our local farmers market.  The highlight was the vegetable stalls. I bought a kohlrabi and received advice on how to serve it from the stall holder and other customers.

Then round to Waitrose for provisions for the next few days.  We had thought that we would have a long shopping list as the fridge was looking pretty empty but we have roughly planned out the rest of our stay in the fens and expect to be in Huntingdon in a few days time.  So we can buy more then.
