Bustling Market

I usually miss most of the Thursday market because I'm at work, but today I was still recovering from my holiday so I got to look round properly.
There are a lot of interesting stalls. Regulars include the bread, cheese, Primrose Farm organic veg, another fruit and veg stall, plants, vintage clothes, the WI, meat, bric a brac, socks, the Greek olive man, pet food, and records and DVDs. The fish van wasn't there today. Stalls I hadn't seen before included a lady woodcarver, who was carving as she looked after her stall, a leather stall, takeaway chow mein, a man selling air plants decoratively set in shells and so on, soap and beeswax, specialist teas, a shepherd's hut selling prickly plants and garden ornaments, picnic blankets, someone demonstrating kitchen equipment - and there was more.
It's wonderful to see the market so busy!
[Edited to add: There was also one stall draped in black, with a display of a shield with the motto "Coeur de Livres" and a variety of photos showing Richard Booth's life.]
