How exciting!
I've wanted to do this for ages, but kept not doing so... but following a leaflet in the post today I've signed up with www.milkandmore.co.uk which is Dairy Crest's online service, and starting from next week, we will be having a real milkman delivering a pint of milk every day, and a small veg box every Friday! The veg box will have random fruit and veg in it, depending what is in season, so I'm hoping we'll get a nice surprise each week and we can try some new recipes. :-)
I'll still do a lot of my shopping at Tesco, but this is a small way I can feel I am helping the environment (yay for electric milk floats) and a local business rather than a massive national corporation.
Having a milkman and a weekly veg box is something that I feel only proper grown-ups do *grin* - I may be finally reaching a certain level of maturity!
And there is something just so terribly nostalgic about the idea of waking up to milk on the doorstep in a glass bottle every morning. :-)
