Lazy Sunday

Not much happened here today. Our usual trip to the local market for fruit and veg. Then a quick stop at another market on the way home, in search of organic eggs. No eggs to be found, however the organic grain man was there so I got 5kg of lovely organic flour for bread making, much cheaper than the shop.

The markets are held every Sunday in the historical village of Old Petrie Town. They have a working blacksmith on site, fire brigade museum, working steam engines, pottery studio, wood fired bakery, lolly shop, craft stalls, books and records, plants, jams, fruit and veg, antiques and bric a brac.

When we first started going to this market the lolly shop made everything on site. They had candy stretching demos several times a day. A few years ago the ladies retired and everything changed.

Today we decided to have a wander around the grounds and look in at the community garden. It looks great, lovely and green, everything growing in a rambling sort of fashion.

A very large Moreton Bay Fig - that's Tony standing in the base of the trunk, not sure how old it is as I forgot to look at the sign

The community garden

This raised bed is decorated with pieces of pottery and terracotta faces made I think by the artists from the pottery studio

This is my style of garden, flowing and rambling, I just love it!

Hope you had a lovely weekend
Cheers
