Market Day in Totnes

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who left such kind comments about poor Daisy’s horrible experience.  She was a little stiff and sore the next day, but I am pleased to report that she is now fully recovered, while Ben has very much enjoyed all the extra treats,  hugs and congratulations he has been receiving since he became a hero.  So I decided that today it would be fine to leave them both behind for a little while and I set off for the Totnes Friday market.  I arrived just a little after nine-thirty and the town and market were already buzzing with shoppers.  Totnes market has all sorts of stalls …

 All laid out in a most appealing way.  I always like to visit Amanda at Shabby Chick ….

Who offers the most adorable collection of vintage china and linens.  Then there’s the bakers ….

 Two very cheerful chaps with the most delicious baked goods – a honey and spelt loaf, together with one of their brownies found their way into my shopping bag!

 Fresh produce and flowers from the Walled Garden stall …

Two lovely ladies – who also offer English garden flowers for weddings …..

 Rosie and I plan to visit their garden to find out more.  And of course no visit to Totnes is complete without visiting ….

 Where the delicious vanilla aroma is so rich and strong,  I am sure that even breathing in the air must absorb calories into my bloodstream!  And I won’t be able to wear one of these this summer if I eat too much of Roly’s fudge …

 Yes, these Bathing Belles are another project for the August issue of the Bustle & Sew Magazine.  And I’m sure my furry bathing belle and beau will want to go swimming later – another hot day is forecast tomorrow and they’ll enjoy a cooling dip in the sea this evening!
