Guest Post: Andrew Lee on Asparagus

I was in South Cornwall recently. This little gem of a shop serves the local communities of Par, Tywardreath and St Blazey. (My friend Eve will laugh if she reads this, but I was never sure where I was in this conurbation!) I went in asking where the Post Office was and bought some sweet williams and fat asparagus. Although I never went back for any of the tempting produce advertised here, maybe next time?
