Cambridge Market - it's SO bracing...

6/3/2012

It certainly did not feel as though spring was in the bracing air of chilly Cambridge as we braved gale force winds on our market stall yesterday.
Winds up to 45 miles battered us; a level defined by the Beaufort scale as enough to 'generally impede progress'! It certainly did impede us setting up our stall, and we spent the day chasing after labels and packaging gone astray. My heart leapt every time a particularly strong gust came and conjured up visions of broken crockery.
Several times we thought about packing up our retro wares and going home, but we stuck with it. Jane even had her picture taken for the Cambridge News, looking very much the part of a cold and windswept market trader.

Despite the wind's great effort, we managed to stay cheerful and luckily survived with no breakages. Several items did take off though - we managed to catch this Tams teaset and Mintons plate and save them from destruction.

Let's hope the weather takes it easier on us next week.
