Heyjude

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

    1. I adore photographing market stalls, especially food! And the Europeans seem to be so creative in their layout.

        1. I know YOU have at least one fab market in Melbourne because I have been to it – never in my life had I seen such HUGE avocados. Queen Victoria I think.

        2. Yes that’s true. Queen Victoria is correct. One of the photography groups did an excursion there recently but I wasn’t able to go. Their photos look good though!

    1. I haven’t posted the naughty bits…. yet! HNY Gerard, I hope all is well down under and not TOO hot for you!

    1. A day to stay indoors in front of a roaring fire with a good book. Do you have a fire? If not you can share mine 🙂

    1. I have some lovely shots of this market and an outdoor one. Once I finish with Norwich I may take a break from the UK trip and do some Barcelona posts.

  7. Don’t naughty cakes count? I had a triple yesterday. Almond, fig and carob. Too greedy to pause for photo xx

    1. Naughty things? You mean the sweeties, the macaroons, the c.h.o.c.a.l.a.t.e? We did in fact buy juice and fruit salad 🙂

  9. As I have mentioned before, I love that market myself. One of these days, I will try to find the photos I took when I visited it. A nice splurge of colour on a dull day, Jude.
    Best wishes, Pete. x

    1. Haha… I left the macaroons out of this post, but I shall get to them eventually. It’s a fabulous market.
