Last time we talked about online grocery shopping, and how it’s convenience can help you to eat healthily when life is busy. But there’s a down side too. A picture is worth a thousand words. This is what you don’t get when you do your shopping online.
The freshest leaves…
The youngest, tenderest produce…
The foods that somebody carefully made or nurtured with their own hands

Just lovely, especially the baby rhubarb.
Oh Sophie, what gloriously, gloriously pretty photos. Is that middle one of rainbow chard? If so it’s the most delicate, beautiful, luscious and pretty rainbow chard I’ve ever seen.
Oh, I stand corrected by Arwen – it’s baby rhubarb. How utterly gorgeous that is. My statement about “delicate, beautiful, luscious and pretty” still stands.
sophie! your rhubarb almost made my heart stop.
divine reminder.
Hi all,
Thank you for the lovely comments – I just couldn’t resist sharing photos of the rhubarb. I’ve just never seen such baby pink, gorgeous stuff. The lady selling it at the farmers market really knew how to show it off too – it was sold in this lovely hand tied bunch (so much nicer than an elastic band!)
Oh, Sophie, all the photos are glorious & a welcome sight for my spring-hungry eyes.
Yes, you’ve beautifully captured the sensory joys of real-life food shopping.
Absolutely beautiful and yummy too. You photograph with reverence.
Unfortunately buying local produce is more of a treat for me, as I don’t have that many farmers markets around me and they can be expensive. Beautiful images though, nothing beats food grown with love and care.
