During last week, Leicester City Coucil held one of their 'Continental Markets' in the city centre. We went along on Saturday, and were very pleased we did.
There were a number of stalls around the Clock Tower area, using the newly pedestianised areas very effectively. The stallholders were selling a variety of goods from, errrr, more than one continent. To me 'Continental Market' conjours up visions of stinky cheese and odd sausages rather than Peruvian knitting, or generic pot sellers - but hey! who's complaining?
We bought some stinky French cheese from a nice man from Normandy, who was happy to gabble in French to me, some nice French pastries and a few other odds and ends. Mrs Grumpy was rather dissapointed not to be able to get any Dutch windmill biscuits, I did remind her that this was not the Christmas market - just a random event.
Leicester tourism must do a better job of publicising this sort of thing. And they should re-instate the Leicester Continental Christmas market.
