I worked on a market many many years ago, I would be one of the first there.. setting up a fruit and veg stall.... when the owner came and his day workers I would go home or sometimes hang around and look after other stalls.. I was 14 then and as my dad had died when I was 11 this extry income... plus free fruit and veg was very handy. I look back on those times as happy ones bought about by great sadness.<br />I have always felt at home with market people... <br />I also like the name 'Hawker..... it must go back hundreds of years... Great posting Alice.. thank you for the memories and sorry I was late getting by here.<br /><br />Your English friend<br />Tom<br /><br />My blogs today show a <a href="http://womtig.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> Gypsy Waggon </a> and a <a href="http://poempic.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> Weather Vane </a>Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468202869979719175.post-80264457517730374282009-07-20T08:38:12.738+08:002009-07-20T08:38:12.738+08:00A wet market is a totally different experience.
