It was at the market that I met Theresa- she had a stall alongside me and Joan at Stoke Newington last year. www.kitchenbuddy.eu
The stalls fell into three types- clothes, badges and loads of jewellery- some butch, most very girly
Then there was food and we bought great cakes from the East End WI. And then information- the women knitting vulvas (!) some groaning on about oppression in the UK- not very convincing. It all felt a bit like the seventies. I noted how few working class women were there- most things do not seem to change at all. Except cupcakes had replaced the biscuits and fairy cakes.
But it was a fun afternoon and great to meet up with Theresa again. She came home with me and nibbled some carrots while I dished up steak pies and chips. I did feel a bit feeble.
