Saturday, which means paying a visit to the farmers' market, the French bakery, and the cheesemonger's.
Cheeses purchased: Mozzarella, (in the olive oil stall), along with olives and semi-sundried tomatoes.
In the cheesemonger's, I treated myself to a selection of cheeses: Two were blue: Roquefort, and a new blue from Italy, called BirbaBlu, (a lovely blue that has been soaked in ale); the timeless classic Camembert Rustique; Carre de Brebis from Corsica; Ossau-Iraty, a cheese made from sheep's milk from the French Basque region, and another brand new (somewhat creamy cheese, from Italy) called El novaleson dji Fra Fulvio.
And, as it happens, I still have some splendid Cantal and Shropshire Red.
