Southside Farmers' Market

We often spend Sunday morning mooching around Southside Farmers' market. It's only a turnips throw from where we live and it's quite a decent indoor and outdoor market selling local produce. They also often have lots of free samples, so the kids (and us) usually enjoy plenty of free apple slices, bread, cake, olives, sausages etc.

Amy and Audrey had visited last Sunday and delightedly told us that they had found a new stall selling crêpes, and so we set off early this morning in eager anticipation of enjoying crepes for breakfast.

Alas the crepe seller had vamoosed (is that French for disappeared?) :) and so our plans were ruined.

The kids' faces dropped. We ran into a neighbour who saw our now quiet kids slumped disconsolately in the pushchair and remarked to us that 'morale looks low'. Which indeed it did.

As compensation we found sellers of Belgian hot chocolate and baklava, which seemed to appease the kids and lift the mood quite considerably.

Audrey ended our trip by singing 'have you seen the pancake man?'(to the tune of 'have you seen the muffin man') as we headed back to the car park.

The reason that the interior windows of our car are smeared :)
