Covent Garden

Not like you know it today.

6am and we have arrived and parked at the south end. Loads of stalls … at this end all vegetables.

We start walking round. Stalls are ranged East to West. My uncle shows me how to test carrots, potatoes, cauliflowers for freshness. We stop at a stall, “Reliable produce here.” He buys and I watch sacks being taken off to our lorry.

Now we have come to fruit. Men carrying piles of baskets on their heads.

Buying finished, we go back to the south end for breakfast.

Then back to the shop to unload.
