#Cambridge Market Bursts into Song with a Box Guitar

The Cambridge Paella Company

They’re at it again…the traders bursting into song and dance on Cambridge market.  What else to do on a grey and cloudy day and how better to cheer ourselves up then Sarah from the Cambridge Paella Company grabbing a box guitar from the guitar stall and giving us a rendition of ‘Grandma’s Feather Bed’.

Cambridge Market guitar stall

We all tried our best at some toe tapping followed shortly by a spot of tap dancing and a quick demonstration of Scottish dancing.

Can I borrow your guitar?

The prize for best all round entertainer though goes to Sarah, without even a hat in site!

#Cambridge Market; Trader’s Choice 1

 

China and churros

Every week I ask a market trader to pick out their favourite item from ‘Tea and Vintage’.

Sarah eyed my stall, perhaps not quite as greedily as I was eyeing the churros on her Spanish themed stall, but she is as keen a customer for my attractive pieces of china as I am for her gorgeous hot and crispy churros, dipped in hot chocolate and oozing…oh no, there I go again.

 

Making Paella

It was also a particularly special day as paella had been introduced for the first time on Sarah and Jamie’s stall alongside the churros so I was sorted for breakfast and lunch and looking forward perhaps to keeping the theme going with a tipple of sangria to finish off the day.

“Hmm…maybe…” her hand fell towards a Paragon tea plate.  “Then again…” her hand kept moving, going towards an unattributed pretty floral bowl and plate.  “This is the one!”

Choosing china

A fairly modern piece but I love the design too.  Tempting to give the plate a finishing touch with a scrummy piece of cheesecake from Sophie’s cakes on the stall next door.

£5 for the bowl and plate.
