We are still trying to figure out the best place to shop for different things.  And how to get there.  And whether or not we can park. I knew I had a couple viable parking options near this particular farmer's market so we made our way to check it out. 

Things we expected to see: 

produce

street performers

flowers

Things we were surprised to see:

Underwear – in nearly inconceivably large sizes and every color of the rainbow.  And not just one vendor either. 

Hardware – like an open air Ace Hardware store. (do they still have those?) Apparently THIS is where you buy that stuff here. 

A duck.  As in what was that?  Oops, excuse me. Oh.  You're a…. duck.  Right there. 

I walked out with a wooden broom (do other people run through metal and plastic ones like we do??) an armful of hydrangeas, and a crepe-y embroidered cotton sundress in a deep rusty color which I hope to pair with a jean jacket as the weather changes.  I may have broken some fashion rules there but I can't pass up Indian cotton. 

Colin bought lunch.  For £3 you can pick up a bacon/egg/double cheeseburger the size of a plate. Kieran tried heroically to finish until I pointed out that he could simply close the lid and carry it home.

Moms.  We solve that sort of crisis just.like.that. ; )
