Market Day

As you know, Saturday is Market Day in many English towns and villages, and Grantham is no different. The market is held on Westgate Road in the heart of the city. It is blocked off and stalls are erected early in the morning. This is a scene from before 9 a.m.--yes there is such a time--people already buying freshly picked fruits and vegetables, fresh baked breads, meats, fish, you name it, as well as the sampling of misc. stuff, hardware, old record albums and CDs.


Nestled in the heart of Lincolnshire in farm country, as you might expect there are many stands with fresh produce, vegetables and fruit.


But, as I say there is also fresh fish, meats butchered to order, fresh bread and more

 
 
 


Belvoir is the name of a castle and village nearby. And, of course, what English scene would be complete without some four-legged furry creatures waiting patiently for the master to be done.


Enjoy the day.
