The Local Excellence Market was on the Market Place this sunny morning.

Eric used to help at the Country Market stall, and was Master of Ceremonies at the Christmas Extravaganza until a few years ago. Today, as this is the closest  Local Excellence Market to his 90th Birthday (next month), Jill Carver, from Added Ingredients, had provided an early Birthday Cake.

There was folk music on Bury Street most of the morning.

The Town Crier was out and about announcing the Market, and helped as the cake was cut. She was extolling the benefits of being out and about at the Local Excellence Market rather than spending too much time on the internet.
