Plus the stalls are like a lazy Scooby Doo background animator's dream. Chocolates, little wooden windmills, metal artwork...Chocolates, little wooden windmills, metal artwork...Chocolates, little wooden windmills, metal artwork...
I won't even start on the prices, though I imagine the city council want a fair whack too for the pleasure of setting up shop there.
