At the market

[callmemadam]

I haven't done one of these posts for a while. The market was heaving this morning. I drove down in murky weather with my lights on and back again in bright sunshine. It would be a beautiful, warm spring day here if the wind were less sharp. Even so I have the greenhouse open, the fleece off, the washing line cleaned for use (it was green) and plan to garden this afternoon.

I bought books today, the first time in ages. One of them was a very good buy for 50p.



An enormous pile of old knitting patterns and booklets. Not that I need any more but I love looking at them and even charity shops charge up to a pound each for them nowadays.



Sanctuary and other nice toiletries. The boxes are a little worn but that doesn't matter.



Plus the usual fruit and veg and I enjoyed some pleasant banter and haggling, so a good trip.

We are lucky. The trick is to go every week, not always possible.

General knitting pattern envy here. Sounds such a good market. We don't have second-hand things at our local ones.

I spent the whole of yesterday evening going through them!

The market runs for three days, each with its own character. Saturday is car booters' day, which is where the bargains usually are.
