Spring remains in the air. Indeed the air was full of Spring much of the day. The west wind, curling round from the north blew heavily across the park encouraging a drookitness unpopular with the dogwalkers and passers-by. I was OK though.
Usually we say 'The farmers will like it,' but as we know farmers are never happy whatever the weather, and many have seen far too much rain this year already and the crops are not happy about it. Mr Tesco and Mr Sainsbury are already increasing their prices even though they are as yet unsure of the particular crops involved.
Cocoa in warmer areas has increased three fold in price, Olive Oil also, both caused by the weather and corporate greed. Other fruits imported from the EU are suffering also. That did not stop me buying some tasteless Spanish strawberries, know doubt covered in various chemicals to aid growth, for tea. My health being what it is these preservatives may aid me rather than hinder.

Higher Authority has stocked up on olive oil ....we could bathe in the stuff if it did not attract the flies....
Fly, I paid over £8 for a decent bottle in Tesco. Huge rise.
Good grief! It's not that bad here. We have the stuff poured off the pulp for cooking and the EV for salads.
Fly, Brexit costs at Dover, shortage at growth areas, Tesco etc greed, all add up. Sainsburys are the same.
