BOB THE BASKET MAN IN BRIGG - PICTURES & REPORT BY KEN HARRISON


At first glance, you may think this guy a busking flower-seller wondering about Brigg. In fact, it's Bob the Basket Man from Northamptonshire in the process of changing  Brigg Town Council's sponsored floral decorations along the riverbank.
The spring baskets of daffs and tulips needed up-dating and Bob was exchanging them for baskets of summer pansy-like floral decorations.
Bob said that he had just travelled from Newcastle where he had seasonally swapped the floral displays at a number of community centres about the city.  He was off to Derby and Rugby the following day.
His firm, Tom Butler - Flower Hire Service is located  on a farm in Wellingborough.

Bob is due to return to Brigg about July time to hang his autumnal floral baskets.
