Nic Nac and Spaniel at Cabbages and Frocks

Nicky Hawtin and Anna Ford return to Marylebone High Street this Saturday 9th May for the Cabbages and Frocks market where they'll be selling cakes, biscuits and the like on Children's Day. I'll confess, I live with one and know the other, so clearly I'll be in and around the stall trying not to eat too much of the wares. Drop by if you're around -- it runs from 11am to 5pm Saturday, just off Marylebone High Street opposite The Conran Shop / Orrery. There's a good variety of stalls and the weather promises to be a whole heap better than today. Click here for more details from the Cabbages and Frocks website.
