Hitchin

My friend and I have been toying with the idea of having a stall, again, at the flea market in St Albans. We want to do it before Easter, but we don't have enough stock. Yesterday we decided to go to Hitchin to see if we could find interesting pieces we could resell. The problem is I only buy pieces I like and I like them too much! My favourite buy was an art deco green glass bowl with a glass serving spoon, it's beautiful. Can I bear to part with it?

On Friday a friend and I went to Hitchin. It was a lovely sunny day just right for a good old rummage at the open air flea market. kitsch was my theme, in retrospect!

This morning Steve and I went over to Hitchin, a town near St Albans. I wanted to look around the market that is held there on a Tuesday. It's a very picturesque Hertfordshire market town with narrow little streets leading off the old market square. Lots of interesting little shops. We found a lovely bakery called Quotidian, 13/14 Sun Street. They bake in-house traditional French, Italian and flavoured breads. We bought a mustard and cheese loaf, chocolate and nut cookies and chocolate and pistachio biscotti we took them home for lunch. I can say they were all delicious.
