The second weekend of the Festival had a poor weather forecast and, anyway, I had other things to do so I gave it a miss. It's mostly loud music, eating and drinking, none of which excites me greatly (can't make sense of the music with my awful hearing). On Friday, however, I was walking up through the village and realised the continental street market was already underway, so I walked up that way along Exhibition Road. You can buy street food from all over the world here. I follow a gluten free diet so most of it isn't suitable for me, which is just as well or I might be tempted by the Portuguese Pastel de Nata (egg custard tart) or the churros.
In and amongst, there are a few stalls that sell novelty knits and colourful clothing. I was happy to see an alpaca, a nice little nod to Saltaire's heritage, since it was alpaca wool that made Sir Titus Salt a rich man.
