After a couple of years experiment I have decided to move the blog back to my main site and you can access it here.
This year’s Victorian market was held last Sunday (23rd October) and was absolutely packed. The weather was fine and stayed fine. There were plenty of food-stalls and varied entertainment. Most of the stall-holders dressed up as did a few of the crowd. The costumes I managed to photograph can be seen here on my Flickr pages with a couple of “Punch and Judy” shots thrown in. The event was organised by Cllr. Jill Makinson-Sanders. Hopefully this will now be an annual event in our calendar.
Crowds filling Mercer Row for the Victorian Market
All the feedback I have received has been positive except for one criticism, there were not enough rubbish bins or sacks and those that were available were quickly filled and overflowing. Perhaps a solution will be found for next year. If you have any comments for the organiser post them here and I will point them in the direction of Cllr. Makinson-Sanders.

Snake Davis is no stranger to Louth or to its music festival, but I think this is the first time the group SnakeStrings has played in the town. They have enjoyed rave reviews wherever they have played; and St James’s acoutiscs should be ideal for their eclectic mix of music. Don,t miss it!
