A wet market day in Great Eccleston

I walked to the village this morning for an appointment. I was glad as it’s always hard to,park on a market day. The stalls take all the space up.
It actually looks quiet here but it was very busy behind & across, it was good to see people out supporting them.
I feel guilty now as I never bought anything...no cash on me!

Three good things:
1. Free returns. I am wanting a shorter jacket that’s warm & waterproof so sent for two very nice Musto jackets. Neither fitted right as I’m short waisted so only in the house an hour then winging their way back from whence they came!
2. Up to date videos of little Nina...keeping us in the great grandparent loop!
3. I was able to text the buyers of our house & check if we can pick up something we think we’ve left...they are very obliging!
I left a small driftwood Christmas tree which she has put lights on at the back door...we aren’t doing much decorating this year so she’s keeping it until after Christmas....we seemed to leave in a hurry that day as it was so late so very handy we haven’t moved far!
When it’s slippy I have to put two weights in the boot of my rear wheel drive car, we left those too.....
What a great village scene

Very wet and windy Pat. Good that is so colourful it cheers everything up. The tree on the pub wall looks rather bedraggled!

Looks very wet at your market place.
Another misty day here. Very quiet in the streets here, full lockdown since yesterday; most shops closed.

Some lovely healthy looking plants at the market. So nice you can have regular updates on little Nina's progress.

The plants are getting watered anyway and it wouldn't matter with fruit and vegetables. Not so good for Xmas gifts. Never thought of putting weights in the boot when its slippery but then we seem to have weights there of something or other, all the time!

It looks as wet there as it has been here. I never went outside today.

Must be chilly standing at a market stall all day in winter. I hope they are wearing their thermals.

A very wet day! Interesting about the cash - I have stopped carrying it completely now because no-one wants it, they all ask for contactless card payments. Bizarre as I was always a cash girl before this year!

I’m glad the shops have business! A lovely capture of your market.

Lovely shot!
