As street markets go this one was quite a good one. Its quite large and extremely popular, not only were there a lot of local visitors there were lots of coach tours ferrying people to the market that cant be missed.
Apart from the usual local produce stalls, clothes stalls and knick knack stalls there were lots of craft stalls. Paintings, sculptures, silk flower arrangements, handmade candles, handmade bookmarks ( they were really nice and the lady was telling us that her 12 year old son had come up with the idea and she had gone into the manufacture of them but we were certain with the advent of the kindle she was fighting a loosing battle ), needlecraft stalls and wood carvings to name but a few. The only trouble was I thought some of the goods were expensive but I know from personal experience that its virtually impossible to factor in an hourly rate for the time you spend in making a handmade item. It was a constructive time for me as I now have some crafty ideas but I'm not about to spill the beans incase you might be the recipient of my endeavours.
