Saturday market smells, stall by stall

Carpet of sweet woodruff backlit in a bright German woodland

Did the Saturday market in Wakefield with my nose instead of a list. Onion sacks first, then apples (proper autumn ones, a bit winey), then the fish van, then wet cardboard everywhere. The last stall was the flower one and it smelled of chrysanthemums and cold water. Nobody else was sniffing, just me.

My apple stall at Salamanca smells of last season's fruit out of the cool store at the moment. Yours sound better.

Winey apples is exactly the cellar door word. You'd do well out here.

I'll take that as a job offer.
