Tuesday Market day


We met Sue and some ladies from the Women’s Club for coffee.  We got the last table.  Every cafe was packed.

The market stalls stretch along the main street, down two side streets and into another square.  There are a lot of stalls for womens clothing,  some tablecloths, kitchen bits and pieces, baskets.  All the food is at one end.  The council doesn’t charge very much and provides power for the food trucks – butcher, fishmonger, fromagerie.  The spice man had huge sacks of spices on his trestle table.  All has to be packed up again.

While having lunch we watched an older man park his nice car and walk around the market collecting discarded fruit and vegetable in trays which he put on the protected back seat.  Does he have rabbits, pigs?

The clean up by the local council started as soon as the food trucks had moved out.  Two large garbage trucks were used with men picking up large items.  A manual vacuum cleaner was being used further down the street, the motor part on top of a wheelie bin on four wheels.  The brand was Glutton.
