Please say when ordering where you intend to collect.
If you wish to collect from my home in CH2 between 1pm and 3pm (please note earlier times than usual), it’s essential to order. If you haven’t been here before I’ll send directions when I confirm your order.
There is a possibility that the Taste Cheshire Market on Chester Town Hall will go ahead for food shopping from 10am till 4pm. If it does, my table should be in the usual spot and Mary will be selling on my behalf. It’s not necessary to order but you can do so if you wish. Pay in cash or by cheque at the market. There is an ATM very close to my table. I will send another message with definite information as soon as a decision has been made. TASTE CHESHIRE MARKET CANCELLED.

Apricot energy bars with local honey – £2.50 per pack of 2
