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!

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.

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...

I loved Angie's little poem. I don't think I've heard that recited since I was a kid. Nice memories!

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!

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 :)

I'm rather jealous of the way you are able to produce non-stop, accurate and atmospheric pictures of London!
