The Dimblebys have a holiday home not far from here - would you like
me
to interrogat them? ;-))

Richard took the secret to the grave.

Don't you believe it. I met Jonathan in the hairdresser......

Selling long packs of spaghetti?

;-)

... whilst having a short back and sides, Jonathan not Sacha that is.
Next week
the one legged Breton onion seller will be doing trade at your
hairdresser, his
bike will be propped against the window, the onion sellers bike, not the
hairdresser's, who of course rides to work on a horse.

Crumbs - onion sellers - haven't seen one for years and years. They used
to be around Jersey quite often and I can just remember some old Breton
ladies in their starched cliffes head gear, just outside the market in St
Helier. That road is still called French Lane though that's not its
official name.

I met my first french onion seller at the Wimborne food festival in October.
And in keeping with tradition he wore a beret and a brown raincoat, and had
a bicycle adorned with lots of strings of onions and shallots. The strings
were tied in a way I hadn't seen before, with the string passed round the
side of each onion and on down to the next. He had used a bright green
"string" which was clearly not a natural fibre, which was what caught my
eye.
