Hitchin Flea Market

On Friday before the extended Christmas break came to an end we had a family trip to Hitchin. It was a bitterly cold day, but the site of the 'Lego' washing machine at the Flea market cheered us all up. This colourful washing machine was made by Siemens in 1998 and called the Harlequin (I looked that up when I got home). Friday is Flea market day in Hitchin. We had a good morning shopping and coffee in Caffe Nero warmed us all up. Alice was very pleased with an original Lloyd Loom linen basket she bought for £2 and two pairs of brogue shoes. I bought some ceramics. I found a pretty plate to display knitted cupcakes on and a Poole Twintone Mushroom and Sepia coffee pot, circa 1970's. On Monday Alice goes back to Brighton, Steve is back to work and I will pack Christmas away for another year!
