The great veg swap

You give me a red cabbage, I give you some courgettes. Peas for mange-tout. New potatoes for a cucumber. Help yourselves to our gooseberries whilst we're away. Here, have some runner beans and cherry tomatoes before you go. No please...A jar of coriander and tomato chutney transmogrifies into a blueberry muffin.

There's no price placed; no equivalence sought; no stockpiling or profiteering. Abundance shared with those who have and those who have not.

You've got to like that - an annual summer outbreak of back-door socialism.
