Cutlery for sale

Wednesday 10th June 2015, 9.10am (day 1,385)

Cutlery, 10/6/15

Wednesday morning means the bric-a-brac market in Hebden Bridge. I stood by this ‘display’ (a pink storage box) long enough to get this single pic but at that point the stallholder, attracted by some logo I had on the random T-shirt I threw on that morning, started a conversation with me and I decided that if I took another one I would be expected to shell out on cutlery. We don’t need cutlery, so I moved on. I dunno, the thrills of a day working at home, huh.

Stall at the market

Wednesday 13th May 2015, 10.35am (day 1,357)

Market stall, 13/5/15

Three stallholders, or possibly visitors, and Audrey Hepburn in a birdcage. A typical scene at Hebden Bridge’s weekly Wednesday flea market.

Thursday market

Thursday 12th February 2015, 12.20pm (day 1,267)

Market stall, 12/2/15

What was in the boxes I do not know, but if they started out full then clearly she’s had a good day’s trading. Perhaps that’s what she’s texting about. But perhaps the stall just sells the boxes. It’s that kind of market.

Wednesday market, Hebden Bridge

Wednesday 15th January 2014, 8.55am (day 874)

Wednesday market, 15/1/14

A regular Wednesday event in town. If you want to buy a guitar in Hebden before 9am on a Wednesday morning in January, this is the place to do it, clearly.

Stallholder, Hebden Bridge market

Wednesday 19th June 2013, 9.00am (day 664)

Hebden Bridge market, 19/6/13

Seven days in a row at home now — I mean without leaving at all, even for work — and no nights away planned until well into July. This is unusual for me. I need to look around, reconnect.

Thursday market, Hebden Bridge

Thursday 20th December 2012, 9.00am (day 483)

Fish van, 20/12/12

A regular Thursday scene in Hebden Bridge, but not previously depicted on the blog. The fish van is a welcome visitor – he’s having a quiet day here, there is usually a considerable queue. Mind you, it was chucking it down with rain this morning.

Fruit stall, Helsinki

Friday 10th August 2012, 5.15pm (day 351)

Berry stall, 10/8/12

Returned from Tampere to Helsinki today and have the weekend here before heading home on Sunday afternoon. This is taken in a market near the square of Hakaniemi. Fish, potatoes and berries seem to be the staples of the Finnish diet, which is fine by me.

Does the plastic bag spoil this shot or help it? I also like the little flag in the background, just in case I forgot where I was.

CDs at market, 2/5/12

Yup: that pretty much sums me up, musically. And all at £2 off, as well.

Todmorden market at night

Wednesday 14th March 2012, 7.00pm (day 202)

Todmorden market, 14/3/12

Little commentary to add to this one – just a nice scene I passed on the way home. I’m sure it would be a cheaper service to run if they turned the lights off when it was empty, though.

Decorations, Covent Garden

Thursday 17th November 2011, 7.45am (day 84)

Covent Garden decorations, 17/11/11

I spent a good portion of the middle part of my life avoiding London, but recently I have been visiting more often. It was nice today to be able to walk out of a hotel on quite a pleasant late autumn morning and be exploring Covent Garden before everywhere was open and while it was still fairly quiet. I think it’s too early to have Christmas decorations up anywhere – but I suppose these ones are quite attractive.
