It was lovely to wander round town with all the stalls today - some familiar faces from the Thursday market with a few festive extras. It was possible to buy cider, beer, and gin from local specialists, as well as Ukranian vintage clothes, hand carved wooden spoons, baskets and rugs, sheepskins, plants, wreaths and mistletoe, hand spun wool, jewellery and lots more. There was even a stall for the Herefordshire Wildlife Trust, and there was a man in the corner of the Buttermarket doing hand printing.
In the morning I heard two different choirs, one in the town square and one down by the Clock Tower, and in the afternoon Brass Bells were playing - who turned out to be a small brass band. There's something very Christmassy about hearing carols played by a brass band.
I managed to get the last few bits of presents I needed - all I have to do now is send them off!
