Setagaya flea market

Sと一年ぶりの世田谷ボロ市へ。
特に何を買いに行くという訳でも無いのだけれど、雰囲気が好きなので、
ぶらぶら素見しながら通りを歩く。

毎年通うもう一つの目的は、この焼き鳥屋さん。
小さな立ち呑みの店で、人が入ってくる度に詰めて詰めて皆で肩を並べて呑むのだけれど、
偶然隣り合わせた方がなんと、昨年もこの焼き鳥屋さんでお隣だった方。
思わず話がはずみ、互いの戦利品などを見せ合いながら（昨年もそうした）楽しく呑み、
来年もまたお会い出来たら良いですねと言って別れたのでした。

結局私が買ったのは、昔祖母が作ってくれたものを思い出して懐かしくなった
この毛糸の靴下だけだったけれど、楽しい日曜の午後でした。


S and I went to the Setagaya flea market yesterday for the first time since a year ago. This market has taken place since 16th century and the oldest flea market in Tokyo.

To be honest, we don't plan to buy anything particular there but we love its atmosphere and enjoy browsing through the market. Another purpose of visiting this market every year is this Yakitori (grilled chicken) bar.
It's a small bar. So people squeeze themselves in by the counter every time a new customer comes in. Surprisingly, the guy who was standing next to us was the same guy we met at this bar last year.We showed what we bought at the market each ohter (we did that last year as well) and had a lovely chat. Then we both said "hope to see you next year again!" and good by.

In the end, I only bought these pairs of knitted socks which reminded me of the similar ones my grandmother used to make for me.

It was a lovely sunday afternoon.
