As we approach St David's day, it seemed suitably appropriate that on Ms D's list today was a request for 1 small leek - rather like the conversation of a few weeks ago involving a "small tin of beans", we used (suitably family appropriate) hand gestures to try and arrive at what constituted a small leek in Ms D's reckoning...

Hopefully I chose wisely from the large selection that was available in the world's politest supermarket this morning - I'm sure I'll get user feedback in due course if she felt it didn't quite fit the specification. Quiet aisles, a bit of sunshine, no unexpected human induced dramas in the store, a completed list and no queue at the checkout made it a pleasant experience all round.
