To Market, To Market,

On a Dutch Bike,

Home again to Roam again,

There's so much on to like!

Today I swapped my Brompton for my big (and heavy!) Dutch market bike.  

We have fixed it up with: 

• a front rack, which I can bolt my chocolate bar stand onto,
• a sturdy kick-stand and 
• a back rack, onto which I fasten a basket of goodies. 

I load them all up and then I'm off, down the hill through town, to setup for market.  

We set this bike up about a year ago and it is so great not to have to mess about carrying tables down to the market. It even has a built in seat!

Later today I'm hoping to take a short cycle out to Ring to meet a friend and go see a dramatic play that's on.  

The Organic Arts Festival is on this weekend in Clon and I've got the whole weekend to enjoy it!

​More soon!

P.S. You can find my chocs at the English Market - The Chocolate Stall or Bradley's on North Main street.

Editor's Footnote:

The Clonakilty Organic Arts Festival that Allison attended looks like one to mark in the annual calendar!

 In addition to the feast of ten x ten minute short plays that Allison attended, the festival included a classical Greek drama, recreated as an open-air musical comedy incorporating burlesque and carnival.

 

There was even a train from the Model village to take children to an enactment of The Three Little Pigs.
