Abergavenny.....to market, to market, jiggety jig....

Went to Abergavenny today, in Monmouthshire.   Lovely area -






The Market Hall in Abergavenny has wonderful huge papier mache creatures and flowers hanging from the roof




It was livestock market day too -


And I got lots of treasures!  Some lovely plates - 







And a pretty trio -



And a giant cup - not vintage, but very pretty - a keeper!



Several other lovely things too - but uploading seems to be on strike!

Hope you had a good day!

And now a glass of wine and Grand Designs to look forward to :)

  2. Abergavenny looks lovely, incredible scenery. Thanks for letting me know about the flowers, I now know something new! Think I may have a go at drying them and see what happens... :) Sarah

  4. Thank you for your blog comment. What a fab market that looks to be. There aren't many old traditional ones around now. Have a good day. Lizzie x

  5. I remember a song in the 60's - "Taking a trip up to Abergavany - hoping the weather is fine" - but I can' t remember who sang it! But the weather does look fine! Faberooni china. The market looks like a proper market. xxx

  6. Oh, thanks, Diane - I don't remember that song - but it was Marty Wilde apparently!http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/a/abergavenny.shtml
    Not the easiest of town names to write lyrics about! Yes, it's a good market.

  8. hi there, once again thanks for your comment.

    Kit is a bit afraid of the hens, although of course she'd never admit it...she just finds "something she has to look at" at the other end of the garden whenever they come to close ;)

    You blog is looking really lovely and I'm pleased to be your latset follower xx
