BIG MARKET TODAY

 It's 5.30 am.

And we are up and getting ready to head off to market.

It's just up the road luckily.  We want to get there early as it's going to be crazy busy getting in and unpacked, set up and so on.

There's 100 stalls, and then food caravans as well... so it really is a good sized market.

The weather?  I am not sure yet... it's still not clear enough to see.  But praying for NO RAIN.

Stew is worried about the field the market is being held on.  After all the rain we have had, there is a chance of getting bogged down... or just covered in mud.  

I'm just gunna go with the flow, and hope we have a fun, profitable day.  

I will update again once we are all set up and have some downtime before people arrive to shop.  Fingers crossed they do in droves!

...

We got up at sunrise... and were one of the first on site.

Bex and Ren beat us here!

ABOVE: Its 7.30 am and we are ready. Now we wait... the market doesn't officially 'start until 9. 

The skies are CLEAR! SUN IS SHINING.

We are very lucky considering how terrible the last week has been.

Its now 10.22 am and so far it's  been very QUIET here. Sales are painfully slow.

Fingers crossed it picks up soon.

Sales are slowly picking up ... which makes it worth getting outta bed at 5.20 am. 😊

1.15 pm... and it's been slow but steady, and we are actually doing quite well now. 45 minutes to go then HOME TIME.

HOME.  So tired!  And poor Stew is outside mowing the lawn before we go away for a couple of days!

I don't know how he has the energy.

Steve and Bex will be returning our girls around dinnertime, so will be staying to have dinner with us.

It will be takeaways of some sort, I'm not cooking!

All up today's market was OUR BEST ONE in a long time.  

For now... my feet are finally up and I'm relaxing before dinner.  It will be early to bed for both of us tonight.

7.40 pm: Dinner was Pizza. Very nice.  Steve and the little boys jumped in the pool after dinner!

They said it wasn't too cold... but no way am I jumping in the confirm that!    Next month will be soon enough for me.

They have now gone home and Stew and I are winding down ... won't be long outta bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
