TAMAHERE MARKET IN MAY

 

5.30 am.  And it's goddam freezing!  I am feeling like death warmed up, I loathe early morning rises so much.

The only consolation is that the DAY is going to be lovely and fine, just CRISP.

That means we might have a good market, attendance wise at least. 

Today at Tamahere, we find out where our new 'permanent site' is going to be.   I HOPE it will be a good spot.

Right, ya know the drill... we are off soon and I'll come back once we are set up.  

ONWARD...

ABOVE: 7.33 am, and we are in our 2nd 'temporary ' spot. Until grass grows over the dirt, our new spot is still not ready. 

But all good, we are happy where we are for now. 

It is certainly very cold, but NOT FROSTY yet.  That's a blessing. 

Stew has gone to get us a hot drink now that we are set up. Time to relax.

2 pm.  We are home.

We are feeling a bit deflated, as it was a VERY SLOW day.  The 'crowds' were very thin, easily half the usual amount of people were there.  

And they were not spending money, except for food, and even then I don't think the food vendors did very well either.

Everyone was saying the same thing,  a slow day.

Hopefully tomorrow at Te Kowhai, it is better.

We did make some sales, but not really enough to justify getting up at 5.15 am.  Yeah, we woke earlier than the freakin' alarm.  

Tomorrow's market isn't 'open' to Stall Holders until 7.30am, so we won't have such an early start. Yaaa.

We are having dinner with Steve, Bex and the kids this evening, which will be lovely I'm sure.
