In my past life I am ashamed to say I used to bore the pants off anyone who had the misfortune to cross my path. I could almost have been called a member of a dodgy cult of shoppers. I was not to put too fine a point on it a Waitrose girl. Pure unsullied, never darken the doors of any other emporium sort of lass.
Moving to Ludlow has put a stop to my evangelical retail ramblings. Our nearest is Hereford and the miles in a car using the earth’s resources to get there goes hugely against the grain. Added to which why would you want to when Ludlow is a renowned foodie town? I now buy from local shops butchers, fishmonger and greengrocers. We have a Local to Ludlow market every fortnight where the most glorious food and produce can be bought. There is also an Aldi store which is super... gone are the days when I very snifferly poured scorn on their head; never having stepped inside, what did I know? I hate bigots don’t you and sadly I was one? I am a reformed character... a convert, not always a good thing because before long I will be preaching the word of
the book according to St. Theo, patron saint of flaming
Aldi!
