These are without doubt the best markets I have ever been to. The quality of the items is fantastic. It is such a pleasure to be able to talk to all the wonderful designers. There are a wide variety of stalls. It is so enjoyable buying special gifts and one or two treats for myself. Lots of things for the children and men, who can be ignored at some markets. It is just as enjoyable online as being there.
