The Pontypridd Market

Every Wednesday, Pontypridd -  pernounced ponty-preeth - has an outdoor market along its main shopping centre.  All kinds of goods can be found; from shampoo to rugs and from freshly butchered meat to wooden roses.  

 Here is the main street in Pontypridd.

Although these roses are fake, you can't actually tell until you are right up next to them.  But its still fun to pose with them anyways.

 Some more of the market.

This butcher is a riot!  He speaks through the microphone attached to his uniform, so you can hear him half way down the street.  He could do infomercials for a living.  As I snapped this picture, he posed and said, "Am I to be in the papers?  I've always wanted to be famous." 

 Ponty's market is never boring, that's for sure.
