To market, to market to buy a fat pig; Home again, home again, jiggety-jig. To market, to market, to buy a fat hog; Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.
To market, to market, to buy a plum cake; Home again, home again, market is late. To market, to market, to buy a plum bun; Home again, home again, market is done.
To market, to market, a gallop a trot, To buy some meat to put in the pot; Three pence a quarter, a groat a side,If it hadn't been killed it must have died.
OMG - I was just thinking the very same ditty that ANGIE posted before me! We often say, "home again, home again, jiggety-jig" when we pull into the garage with our car! Nice snap, Mo!
When I was 16 I used to hang out with these guys on Inverness street in Camden. They would get up at 5am to set up and would spend all day there - well until it was time for a pint...

Check out Borough Market too - that place is amazing.
I like that there are people in the world who still do things the old fashioned way.
That´s cool!!!

He seems to be missing his horse!
I loved Angie's little poem. I don't think I've heard that recited since I was a kid. Nice memories!
love the 2 girlies gossiping in the background.
Not many people can do it like this anymore.
I love old-fashioned street markets! I like wandering among the stalls and I always end buying something I don't actually need. Lovely pic!
now thats work!
Lady behind the cart looks a little like Her Majesty!

Just change the clothes and surroundings and you could be in the Middle Ages! Great find!
I guess you have to be determined to go off to market with a cart like that :)
Nice shot and poem !
I'm rather jealous of the way you are able to produce non-stop, accurate and atmospheric pictures of London!
