'Oh! The Pot Market's arrived. George and I were delighted. We knew that grandma, mother, the aunts and Miss Carter, (who wore Pink) would stop and look at all the Pots and buy something, although they hadn't brought bags with them, "Because", they said "the market's earlier than usual". The Pot Markets only came about once every six months and they were exciting. All the men showing their wares and some offering a huge clothes basket full of pots for very little money. We are on our way to visit Great Aunt Buckley who, alas, George and I didn't like, so by the time all the pots had been looked at and we'd walked quite a long way, there wouldn't be much time to spend at Great Aunt Buckley's and the year was 1907. Helen Layfield Bradley 1975' (to label to reverse).
