Sunday morning...time to visit the markets. I usually try to get my fruit and veges from there, and I like to have a look around at second-hand stuff for little bargains. Today they were at the Duck Ponds...not as good as the Southside markets, but almost worth going just for the bad singing they have there every time.
I went with my friend, Carmel, and her two daughters, and Rosie and Ella of course.
We like to look at the ducks....
and pat the dogs.
I liked these rolling pins....
and these beaters...
but the stall was ridiculously overpriced.
This is my friend, Sally's stall.
She knits the most gorgeous slippers and scarves. I bought Ella some slippers, which you'll see in a photo later, and I put in an order for some pink ones for Rosie.

This guy (in the yellow shirt) pickles his own olives which are absolutely delicious, especially the herb and garlic ones. Mmmm. But no olives today.
After a look and a play and a bask in the winter sun, it was time to go home.
I didn't buy a lot today but this is what I did get. (Half the sugar snap peas had already been eaten, as well as the manderines, which don't look so good on the outside because the sellers didn't use sprays, but are oh so sweet.)
mmmmm real fresh produce. it looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi Esther,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a really fun time! Your fresh produce looks wonderful. This time of year I feel as though I could just eat vegetables for dinner -- so delicious!
Good luck with your new blog!
xoxo,
Mary
