I see that (a) you'll be in Limerick on Saturday 13 July and (b) you are interested in farmers markets. On no account should you miss the Limerick Milk Market, which starts at 8.00am on Saturdays http://www.milkmarketlimerick.ie/index.html. Lots of producers, lots of food, lots of opportunities for chatting to people, and you can get the ingredients for a picnic lunch to eat en route to Ballyferriter.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, we're having what (in Irish terms) passes for a heatwave at the moment.
