I had a couple of those yesterday when it was only 1 degree. Reckon they were bursting for a poo!
Great looking stand and glad you found the tip helpful
You look rightfully pleased behind a great display. Well done.
Needs an end cap on that trough. Who picked the pink ?
Those phots are wonderful Curly!
Excellent reason
Don't give up hope, Will. Bad weather and hibernatory instincts will lead them to you. Last Saturday I took £900 in 4.5 bitter hours; 6kg of Bakers' (£150!) was had by one customer intent on making the West Indian winter ailment recipe of ginger-garlic-lemon-honey. Sold out of propolis, comb honey, Bakers'.
the forecast I've seen, they are scraping to justify calling it a fresh breeze, it's going to be a bit damp though
It's the 40-50mph gusts they were worried about with the gazebos. As it's on a high street rather than grass I can securely peg into (I know my gazebo can cope in high winds if pegged as I tested it during one of the summer storms), I can kind of understand where they're coming from but it's a shame. I'm now going to get slightly damp wandering around some farmland instead!
Appreciate that although for this one the whole event has been cancelled. Glad you're doing well even if it was grim- London? Hopeful for the three business parks though.
If you ever need to weigh a gazebo down in a high wind I recommend hanging honey buckets full of water from each corner. It worked a treat when gazebos were disappearing into the distance at our local summer fete.
Most markets state 'no weights, no market'. My regular in N London is 3 streets from home so carrying 4 (52kg) is no big deal, but we're supposed to have 2 on each gazebo leg (104kg and £340) plus the extra fuel to cart them for those living further out. I have only 4 and have not been blown away (yet).
I was considering using a couple of 5l syrup containers per leg plus the four guy ropes but honey buckets is a great idea.If you ever need to weigh a gazebo down in a high wind I recommend hanging honey buckets full of water from each corner.

I remember proper outside market stalls made out of steel scaffold tube, boards and canvas. The steelwork often stayed put permanently. Indoor markets had lines of trestles and board tabletops. Google Market Hall still stands but faceless rulers had the trestle tables removed to be replaced with mini shops that had to pay business rates. The trade withered away so now it's going to be an "event venue". Some of the traders made there way to the abandoned slaughterhouse but it's out of town and I doubt it'll last.
I used Goole, the online search engine, and it gave me this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-69016745
That's what Eric said!
Our village Xmas Fayre was on today at the local Hub. Very small affair with about 10 stalls tucked into a cafe out of the rain. Turned over about £550 between 10&1. Not as good as last year but not bad considering the weather!
