1pm Report from  a famished Scotch Egg fan!“Excuse me I’m looking for the Farmers’Market”  “Yes, young man….it’s behind that van over there!”OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooYou are an early bird in the mornings Nigel..and I’m glad that you caught pictures of queues and quite a few customers at the beginning. The first trader I bumped into was the regular Austrian Sausage man and his wife (and new baby).  They’re a friendly couple and as you say they dispense wonderful smoked sausages (cheese flavoured are my favourite)..and I bought more for the weekend!  OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooThe Scotch Egg and Meat Pie man had a reduced sized stand..and do you know what?  ….:0(  yes I couldn’t believe it!!  So no scotch eggs this week!OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooThere seemed to be only 5 stalls there at 1pm ..the Egg Stall having left early.That was a good picture Nigel of a queue at the only vegetable stall..which proved that people did attend at some point. Then I arrived it was sparse, OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooGladys was there with her Charity stall..and  I bought some half dozen greeting cards “Handmade by Marlanne Gilbert of Brentford Middlesex”  I’m not into buffalo flavoured items and the cheese I bought at that stall seemed a bit stale and expensive  compared with my regular Davidstow!Spring onions and boiled beetroot were my purchases at the only vegetable stall.OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooThe location in Brentford’s central square seems ideal and the market is sure to develop well….let’s hope so!..with more stalls etc…Even a book stall would be an asset! The traders told me that they would return next week too..so that’s good.
