It's 7.30 in the morning

 

The sun is getting hot

The cockatoos are squabbling

Cars fill the parking lot.

I think that I am early 

But that is not the case

Because there is Alan Eagle 

A huge smile upon his face.

The line is long for coffee

The queue is huge for eggs

There are people buying veges

And  choosing their ducks legs.

There are flowers and there's lamb

Oysters, herbs and honey too

There's beef and flowers and gorgeous jam

And still the people queue.

I hear lots and lots of laughter

People chatting in their lines

Whilst they're waiting for their Christmas Cake

And for biscotti and for wine.

The stalls are all bedecked 

With tinsel and with twine

The mood is truly festive

Cause it's almost Christmas time.

This rural feeling market 

Is a joyful place to be

The produce glows with freshness

At this time of festivity.

And so we thank the farmers

The producers far and near

To all a Merry Christmas

A safe and prosperous New Year.

I miss going to the market and pick up fresh veggies and other yummies. Well, living in a small village has also its downsides and this happend to be one of them.

Oh well I can always come and look at your beautiful pictures and do a little reminiscing of what once was.
