Today is our final goodbye. Thank you to all the traders who worked so hard to clear their belongings from the market halls and who have found new places to trade and keep the Conran Street spirit alive. Cherished memories will live on and, hopefully, a new community will thrive on the foundations that were forged by you all. 🙏🏽

I had a lovely call from a Conran Street Market customer yesterday and two ex-traders last week. It was so lovely to catch up with them. 😊😊😊

The Wolves

They want to malign
without a sign
of balance and kind-
ness but just mind-
games to satisfy the blind,
who skip to follow to find
that gossip is fodder for the mind
to help the herd lock in and bind,
even if the evidence is lined
with ommissions and lies of every kind.

Opinions distorted to play the rôle of fact
so the facebook faceless herd can form a pact
to denigrate the one who tried to act
In the best interests of all!

Sadness distilled into hate,
Extracted to insatiate.
Class divides used in the wrong place
Assumptions made about my case.

A community isn’t derelict stalls
or dangerous walls
or bitching and cat-calls
and buying weekly toilet rolls

It is memories and people
Fighting a common cause as one,
Supporting each other
when the s**t hits the fan!

Memories, you have in abundance
But unison, no!
That’s why the she-wolves who profess to love and care
still bay at night when no one’s aware.
