Decorations for Abergavenny Food Festival, 2013

Once again the Market Hall in Abergavenny is looking resplendent! 

Some extremely ‘crafty’ and talented people from Arts Alive Wales have decked it out beautifully for the Food Festival that took place a couple of weekends ago. 

But unlike last year, when I only looked up and noticed the wonderful decorations six or so months after they were put up, I’ve already been to the market with my camera!

The leeks are my favourite . . .

. . . with the cauli running them a close second. 

Which do you like best?

Abergavenny Market Hall - Full of Surprises!

When I go shopping, I'm usually in a hurry to get what I need and back home again as quickly as possible. But when I went into town with my camera to take the photos for an earlier post, for once, I wasn't rushing from one shop to another and I'm glad I looked up as well as around me as I took a shortcut through the indoor market . . .

The Market Hall is always decorated beautifully for the Food Festival in September but I didn't realise that the decorations stay up for the rest of the year!

I've no idea who makes these marvellous models or what happens to them once they are taken down. 

These photos don't really do them justice because the market was very crowded and people kept bumping into me while I was taking them!

But I think they are works of art. And to think they've been there since September without me noticing them says rather too much for comfort about the way I usually rush around!
