market day...

Once a week we make a trip to the market in the nearby town. And yes, I absolutely adore, how after years and years of city life, we don’t just go shopping, but “go to the market in town”, like they used to do in Anne of Green Gables or Pride and Prejudice. I can just picture horse drawn carriage full of wicker shopping baskets…The fact that it takes us about 10 minutes to reach there is another story.

Indian markets aren’t maybe beautiful in the most obvious way, but they sure are picturesque! There are all the obvious: exotic fruits, colors, shapes, but what always amazes me is the quantity of everything, the piles and mountains of veggies, flowers, spices.Even the most ordinary ones look impressive in such setting!
