Weekend Update

Yes, I'm already behind with blogging....

Last Saturday, I stayed around St. Andrews for the farmer's market and the polo match.  (that's right, polo)  The farmer's market was great, lots of local meat, cheese and root vegetables.  I might get a farm share in the spring. But by far the coolest thing at the market, even better than the handmade soaps, was this:   

Have you ever seen so much smoked fish???  I didn't buy any.  To be honest, I was a little intimidated by the idea of taking home a whole fish, but it smelled pretty amazing.
In the afternoon, I went to see the polo match.  I was very ready for lots of tweed and I was very hopeful for ridiculously large and frilly hats.  Sadly there were none, university level polo is not much of a spectacle.  There's not much action and it's somewhat difficult to follow for those of us who don't know the rules.  But it was lovely to sit on a sunny beach and watch the horses.  Maybe Jeff can tell what kind they are :)
