Good Living Pyrmont Grower's Market, April

This is the first time all year that I have been able to make the Good Living Pyrmont Grower's Market and of course it had to rain. The above picture pretty much describes the sad state of affairs at the markets; wet, grey and dreary. The seagull intently surveys the early morning market crowd, and really there was not much to it. There were the same stalls that are normally there and not many new ones. I think the weather just put a dampener on me, as I'm pretty enthused about going to the markets no matter how early, last Saturday I was just a big old grump.

The crowds understandably were a lot smaller, which for me a was quite advantageous, although the cold, wet weather made me keep asking myselfy why I got up so early when I could have still been in bed. Nonetheless, these hydrangeas provided the splash of colour that was very much needed to lift everyone's spirits.


Pretty in pink and purple


One of my many token cheese shots from Formagi Ocello


Roche Bros. pink lady apples


Another token bread shot from La Tartine, I just love their pumpkin loaves.


This Ladysmith Lamb was obviously happy to be at the markets.


And when they are giving away free lamb, I would be smiling too.


The markets aren't just a meeting place for people, it looks like this pooch has spotted someone she knows.


and the socialising begins...


The sun did manage to come out briefly while I was watching this man cooking up breakfast.


although, the sunshine was shortlived and it was back to grey all round.


Perfect bunches of baby carrots brighten up the morning.


and so does this sunny yellow daffodil.


Barrington Beef's finest offerings sell quickly.


Working the grill at the Edmundi Smokehouse breakfast stall.


more cheese


This pretty much summed up the markets, wet, wet, wet.

And that's another month of the Grower's Market, hopefully next month, the weather and myself won't be quite as drab.
