Arriving slightly earlier than was necessary, Laura and I had a chin wag and I had a coffee before organisers showed up and put us to work.

We helped a stall owner with tables from her car to her pitch.

Waiting for more stall owners to need help, I learned how industrious Laura is as she spontaneously organised our litter pick of the area in advance of the market. We spotted a very cool map and climbing wall on the playground wall which we amazed at.

Laura headed off to Crystal Palace Park run while I helped unload marques (which soon became necessary as the heavens opened).

Quick and easy task to start Saturday!
