I keep reading about the problems independent cheesemakers have been having as a result of Covid-19 – small independent producers who are dependent on restaurants taking their wares. All I can say is that I have enjoyed cheese and eaten more of it with more pleasure than at any time: the fridge is packed with parcels from Neal’s Yard who can pack up a box and deliver, as they have been throughout the epidemic. So, I want to thank them for, as far as possible, stocking the wares of small independent producers and supporting their work as far as they can.
We had done the same, ordering boxes of their farmhouse cheeses through the lockdown, and of late I’ve been going to the Borough Market shop to buy the same.
Yes, I’ve done that too – though more often to the one in Spa Terminus. Charles
