But the old professional Delilah gets lost pretty quickly and a sillier, less focused Dee is soon trailing from stall to stall, her eyes wide with the very beautiful garments and cushions and jewellery at every turn. Modern designs in blocky, clashing colours; simple and traditional quilts that could grace a rocking chair or a three-piece suite just as happily; cross-stitch patterns that say Bite Me within a border of repeating roses or Death to the Patriarchy with a line of hot-pink skulls underneath. It’s like being in a huge sweet shop with none of the calories but all of the colours and flashes of excitement. There’s a big display of the original Cambridge Satchel company and I stand agog not just at their gorgeous, well-made bags but in awe of their pluck and profit. Plus, I really fancy a little one in cobalt blue. Well, maybe once I have a new job. If I ever have a new job…

I push the negative away and trundle on to the next company. For a minute I think I’ve caught the stallholder on the hop – there are long poles of wood on the floor, like she’s still erecting her canopy, and she’s bent over them. But with a closer look I realize they’re broom handles. And they… they have cast-on stitches on them. Stitches from the thickest wool I’ve ever seen, like a ship’s rope! I grab a flier from the little patchwork pouffe at the front of her tent.
