It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.... and there are some really exciting things happening on Surrey Street.

So John Lewis revealed their Christmas ad today and it’s another set to get us weeping through our X-Factor break until the red lorry reminds us that ‘holidays are coming’ and Santa Claus is on his way. Among the big budget Christmas ads will be something a lot closer to home and some familiar faces, maybe even yours!

This is my favourite half-term holiday. With Halloween on Thursday and most bonfire night festivities taking place at the weekend there is just so much to do and plan for. Surrey Street is the perfect place to get stocked up for loads of fun with the children this week.

I was going to write this week all about the wonderful street food available on Surrey Street Market.

Secrets of Surrey Street Market: So that was the summer that was and what an amazing summer it’s been.

The new school year is a few weeks old and families are beginning to settle back into routines. This time of year brings quiet time for the market. I know I for one made far too big a dent in my bank account over the summer on a holiday, outings.

Every day, there are wonderful fruits and vegetables from all over the word to find on Surrey Street. I'm wondering what special rarities are there this week.

As it’s been the school holidays, I’ve been bringing my nine-year-old son, William, with me on market days.

Secrets of Surrey Street Market: Surrey Street is one of the best places to be. It is full of characters among those well loved members of the family and those who come and visit us.
