market blues...

It was cold, cold, cold at yesterday's market. Thermals, two fleeces and two pairs of gloves couldn't keep out the chilly winds and the damp. The wind was whipping round our corner and we were all feeling it. The french onion seller was stamping his feet and walking up and down to keep warm. Thank goodness for Chris' fabulous soup. Yesterday he had one of my favourite winter warmers: beetroot and roasted tomato. Just what I needed to keep the chill at bay.

But we have great fun on our corner, the market is full of fabulous produce and our customers are lovely. Here's my friend J's basket, filled to the brim with market produce.


And here's some lovely pottery, made by Liz, one of my fellow market traders:


We'll be there again on 4 December so if you're local to Bristol, come and see us. It'll be a Christmas market and, whatever the weather, you'll receive a warm welcome!
