I went to the Olive Tree Markets on Saturday. It's in the grounds of The Junction Primary School, in Newcastle. It gave me a serious case of schoolyard envy - there was a huge veggie patch with a scarecrow and everything. The market stalls were pretty good too, though a little skewed to the baby...

These are four words that strike dread in my heart. They usually mean I've written a blog that might upset my nearest and dearest.
