Heskin Hall was better today. We were selling Lancashire cheese and cheese and onion bakes. It was a pirate themed day and there were lots of people dressed as pirates and also the Lytham Shanty Group who were very good and sang shanties and pirate themed songs. It was a lot busier than it has been recently.
We were back at Romiley on Saturday. It was the first proper rainy market I've done for ages. it rained hard all morning, thanks everyone who still came along! The rain made it a bit quieter than normal but I enjoyed the band. They played the Super Mario theme song and the Cantina song from Star Wars which was fun.
It was nice and sunny all day and very hot later on at Hoghton Tower. We were all attacked by swarms of midges early on, they were biting my arms and nose. Sadly it went really quiet after about twelve so we had a poor day. We sold some black peas early on but then they slowed right down as well. I hope it is better next month. We were in a new spot next to the doorway of the tower but that didn't hurt us at all.
Thsi was a nice little Summer Fair at Beech Hill, in Wigan. It was a lovely sunny day and a good venue with a very nice Community Garden to look at. We were selling Lancashire cheese and cheese and onion bakes. There was a steel band to listen to and lots of stalls.
It was a lovely hot sunny day at Romiley this month. We were selling cheese, cheese and potato bakes and ice cream. It was a lot quieter than last month, but we still had a decent day, thanks everyone who came along! I guess it was a bit quieter as it was half term and a lot of people had gone away or for a day out in the lovely weather. We'll be back next month!
It was very quiet at Cuerden valley this month. It was windy but didn't rain that much. I hope it can recover next month. We were selling black peas, soup and ice cream.
Hoghton Tower was much better this month, we could sell hot food again so we had hot soup, black peas and ice cream on sale. Luckily the weather was much better than the forecast and it didn't rain on us at all. We'll be back next month.
