It's that time of the year again when we can enjoy Roscoff onions. Sioni Winwns is back as every year supplying local shops.
Now he drives a white van and rarely uses a bike, unlike his predecessors, seen here in the late 1950s in their warehouse in Porthmadog.

They really are very expensive in our local supermarket.

Ours are less than £6 for 2.75 kilos in a double string from our butcher's across the road. Excellent value for the best onions you could wish for.

Hi Alan,
I suppose next you will be telling me you buy your meat from the grocers down the road! Strange place Wales.

I managed to catch him yesterday on one of his regular winter deliveries to our butchers across the road. So here he is.
