What other markets are you doing before Xmas? I usually go to Sutherland but can’t this weekend. Love the chilli cherry and the tomato

Yeeha my favourite...chilli cherry 🍒 jam. Time to stock up for the year ahead😁

You have been busy

Some good news and bad news.

Good news for you, I have spent my recovery time cooking jams, relish and marmalade and I am fully stocked! Also, I will be returning a week early on the 25th of October to Wollongong Mall Markets and to the Berry Bowling Club markets on the 27th of October! See you all then.
