Damp but still not wet!
I think my Farmers’ Market boast still stands! I have claimed for almost three years that we have never had rain on a Farmers’ Market day in Stone. We came very close yesterday though. I am going to admit that early on we did have a couple of showers of drizzle but I don’t accept it was proper rain! And it only lasted a few minutes each time and soon the blue skies came back.
Anyway, the crowds of shoppers still turned up and everyone seemed to enjoy another packed High Street. And I was delighted to see a new stall exclusivley selling cheeses. It seemed to be doing excellent trade so hopefully we shall see it back next month.
And don’t tell me the Farmers’ Market takes business away from the local shops. I heard today how much a local shop’s takings increase on a Farmers’ Market day. They’d have one every week if we could arrange it!
have your say
