I am so sorry that you did not enjoy the farmers’ market.
From your letter I must make a few logical deductions: you must live in a totally different locality that does not have outside airborne allergens. And when you left your abode, it must have been raining or heavily overcast in order to be surprised by a blazing sun. Besides SPF 45, some people actually wear hats. I am really aghast that you had to suffer so. If your son actually grabbed a sample of a cookie that did turn out not to contain nuts, you may want a piece of advice from an older man — you walk closer to the stall than your son!
Please do come and enjoy the farmers’ market when it rains. There are a lot less people there, the allergens will be washed out of the sky, you can make better deals and most cookie stalls will be closed.
Joe Prins, St. Albert
