The Market of Optimism visited Dumfries in March 2010, to bring a little gladness to our downtrodden state, as we waited for wearisome elections, gloom and cuts. Here are happier folk enjoying the Spice of Life stall.

Brought to Dumfries by dgArts and fantastically enacted by Mischief le Bas.

Whenever I buy flowers at the markets it's because I rather self-consciously want to be the type of person who buys flowers from the markets. I take them home and trim them and re-arrange them and then never remember to change the water, so they die quickly and shed and I leave them on my shelf for far too long. Still. I've already changed the water for these beautiful, silky, cheap ranunculus, so we'll see how we go.
