the delights of Broadway Market ...

Written by Jenny Thompson

On a bright sunny morning in December, I found myself wandering down the Regent's Canal, and to Broadway Market, which is by London Fields.  It was bustling with families, people enjoying the start of their weekends, reading the newspaper in front of cafes and enjoying the sunshine!

I always enjoy visiting the market, as there's always so much to see!  A wide range of stalls, selling a variety of foods from different countries, from Ghanaian curries to French galettes.  There are also stalls with all sorts of crafty things, such as hand-knitted blankets and lovely strings of beads.  There's also a super bookshop!

It really is a nice way to enjoy your Saturday, I recommend a visit if you're ever over that way on a Saturday morning (of course, it can be combined with a trip to the London Fields lido for a brisk swim!)

...and only a stone's throw from the City Farm on Hackney Road!

I also enjoy the Lido, although I don't get there as often as I'd like- is it open at the moment do you know? I guess it's probably a bit chilly...

That sounds like a lovely Saturday Jenny but I'm not sure about a December swim at the lido!smilies/wink.gif

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF.
