I shared a stall today, as I do from time to time at the Elwood Community Market. We were selling secondhand clothes and books and toys. The morning dawned fine and clear. The forecast was not for rain, only maybe an isolated shower. We were doing quite a good trade, had removed our coats and scarves and needed sunglasses. Then the worst occurred - rain ! The isolated shower had appeared from nowhere. It was really heavy drizzle and the crowds went home to dry off . The stallholders, including us, decided to pack up early and go home. Even though we raced to cover things, rain and dampness has seeped through all the stock - a stallholder's nightmare as you have to fill the car with sodden items and then unpack the sodden items and then spend hours getting them dried out. We must need our heads read as we have re booked for the next market in June !!!!
Oh, that's a bummer :-( At least if the forecast was for rain, you would have been better prepared for it and maybe been able to keep your stuff dry. Hope you have lots of sunshine for the market in June!
