How I ever battled through the crowds last night, I will never know!!
I don't often get an evening off and I don't often get a stinking cold either..the two decided to coincide..but as my mum often says, 'Bite the bullet!!'
Thankfully, we made it up the hill, to Amanda's lovely stall!
It's the one for which I always make a beeline !
Always a pleasure! I bought three super duper, pink, vintage baubles...as, if didn't you know, it's the year of the vintage bauble!! ;-)
Amanda always has the time to spare, to chat and catch up with the news..she reads many of our blogs!
Talking of pleasures... 'This 'n That'...
The streets of Totnes were lined with stalls and if you love the Christmas markets, either here or abroad, then Totnes is up there with them..it was wonderful! But packed!
And then there was the entertainment...what entertainment it was too!!
We found ourselves standing for what seemed forever, watching this band as they burst into song. Aptly positioned outside 'Animals in Distress, they burst into song with such lyrics which made us roar with laughter...they sang about 'Worms' and 'Christmas Turkeys', amongst other things and had their own unique style to entertain!
Brilliant!
There's nothing like good, live street music ...(there's so much talent out there compared to the rubbish in the charts eh?!! Terry and Aled excepted of course!)
I wish you could have savoured the flavour of these musicians!
Meanwhile, at the other end of the town..these musicians 'blew me away' completely!!
What an evening! ;-)
(Maybe those responsible for the so called 'Victorian Evening' in Newton Abbot, this year, ought to visit Totnes for a few ideas.. and to see how something is done well!!)
