A new market opened near my home earlier this year. It takes place every Saturday and is run (27) local producers. The market is smaller (28) the supermarket, but I enjoy speaking directly to sellers. Because payment methods vary, I carry both cash (29) a card. The market has become so popular (30) the organisers are considering a second day. I have (31) going regularly since April. It is one (32) the friendliest places to shop locally. The change has become part of my normal routine, and I now notice the benefits more clearly than I did at the beginning. It has also encouraged me to plan ahead and make small practical improvements. The routine now feels normal, and I find it easier to plan each week.
