We've got a fantastic food produce market in Bury St Eds every Wed/Sat, and I've been going to some of the stalls for going on 15 years - they've seen the kids from when they were babies. Am currently enjoying a red hyacinth coming into bloom which I bought last weekend.Cybèlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15470546757550328725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-52073949984848934572011-01-11T08:36:45.111+00:002011-01-11T08:36:45.111+00:00What a lovely story about the family who run marke...What a lovely story about the family who run market stall.

Chester market is about half the size it used to be. Our local craft shop closed down about a year ago, and my alternative is Hobbycraft... which drives me mad ... it's expensive and impersonal.

I haven't been to Barnsley since Twiglet was in a pushchair!! In the 80s and 90s my Mum used to make all her own clothes and told me the best place ever for fabric and haberdashery was Barnsley market. She also told me it was so reasonable, she could knock up a fabulous skirt for a few quid!!<br />Twiggy xTwiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065849697979313992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-21761600630365274832011-01-10T11:58:05.532+00:002011-01-10T11:58:05.532+00:008p a metre!!! - flippin eck!
