MarketFriday Challenge: Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Today is #MarketFriday initiated by my @dswigle so with no further ado I give you Scarborough fair, North Yorkshire.

You may have heard the song "Are you going to Scarborough Fair" made famous by Simon and Garfunkel.
The song is an old English folk song which is basically a sung shopping list.

Like many things in life sometimes it's better to have the imaginary idea of a place rather than the reality. Although I did spot this giant walking through town.

And this Seagull was just waiting for any unsuspecting chip carrying to pass by.

As you can see it was a little wet and windy.

So we ducked inside the local shopping mall to get out of the weather.

So there you have it. Scarborough 2017. Not very romantic but that's real life for you. :)

Here is a more traditional version of the song as it may have been sung. Arranged by Mary Goetze and performed by Lumina Vocal Ensemble. Singers: Beth Madigan, Penny Dally, Rachel Sag, Saam Thorne, Anna Pope, Melnda Pike, Kate Tretheway, Rosemary Byron-Scott and Tim Muecke.
