We trade at Sedgefield Island market every Saturday morning (the middle market) and meet so many interesting people. Its a joy to talk to people from all walks of life and to hear their stories.
Many are from overseas, visiting on holiday or working or studying in South Africa.
We meet young people from the USA and Canada who are here to help in the townships with teaching or lunches for school children.
There are also those young guys and girls who are working at the different wild life and game farms helping to feed animals etc.
So many interesting stories from around the world.
Last week I met a proud dad of one of the guys in Cape Town who is part of the Nodangerdiaries group of friends, who seem to have a lot of fun and do a lot of good deeds for others. Check out their website and read all about them.
Thats the fun of trading at the market -
Our weather was good in Sedgefield this weekend. A lovely sunny morning and warm for a winters day.
I met a teacher from South Africa who is now teaching in Doha, Qatar - says its interesting teaching children from around the world and loves it.
An Italian girl was out here on a tour of the Garden Route, Cape Town and going to a game farm to see Elephants before heading home to Italy.
A very friendly couple who live in Mali, West Africa and work for a big earth moving company. I looked up Mali on google and its the land of the Tuareg tribe. It is a huge producer of gold in Africa and has an interesting and ongoing history. Have a look for yourself.
Last weekend the sun came out and dried up all the drips from the previous weeks rain. (We had had a flood warning for the Garden Route) Still very cold though.
I met a lady from Port Elizabeth who s husband is renovating an old 1960 VW combi and was looking for spare parts in George. Going to make a project of the renovation and then take it and the family on camping weekends. Sounds like fun.
Another guy was so happy to find my Canvas bags and bought one for his hobby of Fly Fishing.
A police woman put together two of my tops - a long T shirt top with a waistcoat over it and looked so wonderful in it. She walked out of the stall wearing it and then came back later to say she was getting so many compliments for the outfit. This is what I enjoy
Also met a couple who run the Brylin private school in Port Elizabeth. What an interesting morning.
