Then off to the butchers




A long standing tradition of selling meat in this shop.

Visit to market

Visiting Bacup market on Friday

Hi
Just to keep you updated.
I've been to the market today and recorded some conversations with stallholders and customers. I also asked if I could take some pics - so I'll post them so you can have a look for yourselves.
Whilst I was there I revisited some of the shops, I arranged to interview the florist next wed 8th and I also bought a bouquet from her for my friend who comes out of hospital tomorrow. The bouquet is really unusual with thistles and brassicas, really pleased. I also visited the shop which sells lots of household items and plastic boxes. I found a folding fishing chair so I can now use my idea of being an itinerant tea lady next time I visit!! Of course after purchasing the chair and explaining that we had alot of yes votes from shopkeepers for interviews the owner agreed, she's on the list for next wed along with 2 more. So 4 shops all in all and it will also provide me with the opportunity to visit the wedneday market.
A successful visit!
