We are now officially market traders, having successfully got through the first day on our Cambridge Market stall. It was not with out incident - Jane broke a glass and I fell over... But we are still thrilled with the way the day turned out. The market is a vibrant community, everyone was welcoming and tolerant of our ignorance of the ways of the market. We are very grateful to our first ever customer and to everyone who visited on our first day.
