The weekend was pretty uneventful, paying bills, food shopping, you know all the fine print of adulthood…
On Sunday however we were in for a treat as it was time for the monthly Uitenhage Market, it was only the second market and already you can see the potential for great success…It reminds me of the Art in the Park’s they used to have on the last Sunday of every month at Willow Dam in Uitenhage. I remember my parents and Gran used to take us, bring a picnic blanket and eats ( my gran was not big on market food) we each got a little spending money (mine was usually spent on candy floss) then we would walk around and play in the park….So it is so great to see Uitenhage getting behind a project that is likely to end up as great memories, especially for the kids.
Another great thing about the market is what is on offer, goodbye mass produced trinkets (you know the kind you find at every market and festival) and hello handmade jewelry and food and fresh produce, you can get everything from feather hair extensions to artisan cheese. They also have a line up of entertainment and activities, it’s all pretty cool and Aidan really loved the petting zoo, NOT a fan of turkeys though . . .
(Have a good week all)
I’m definitely going back next month and who knows I might even have a stall there one of these days
