All hyped up from a week of market shopping in Sydney, Aimee was reluctant to 'super'market shop for fresh fruit and veg yesterday.. determined to remind her that Perth has equally fab markets we set off for City Farm in East Perth. Once a scrap metal yard City Farm is now a vibrant garden market only five minutes from the city. First up, breakfast in the City Farm Cafe.. coffee et croissant, parfait!
Reminders of scrap metal days and a field of dreams greens!
... and there it is, that backward glance as we were heading to the car.. mission accomplished :) Hope that your weekend is just as fruitful, take care.. p.s. HUGE book fair today, yes I do have the correct date this time!
Looks like a neat place to walk around and take photos and pick up a few fresh things.
ReplyDeleteBusy pressure canning meat here but need to get out in the garden.
Ah, my favorite kind of places for finding great fruit and veggies!! We do have great markets both here in Portland and in Seattle and I do love shopping there! Fun pics as always, Grace!! Hope your weekend is off to a great start!!
ReplyDeleteNice place, nice pics esp the final, G. N Perth is the PLACE!♥
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky and I'm so jealous! We do have a "farmer's market" in the town square on Saturday mornings but we haven't visited it yet. I guess we should do that before I crab about our lack of good veggies! :) Beautiful food, beautiful place, beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteNice place to buy fresh fruits.
ReplyDeleteand lovely bench in figure 4 :)
The bench seems to be made by Gaudi ! I like this kind of market, I often vivt them saturday mornings .
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to have such a market so close by!!! Love the garden bench!!! I want one!!!
ReplyDeleteca donne envie d une promenade bels endroits et magnifiques couleurs ;o)
ReplyDeleteFarmers markets have become very popular here too and they are always wonderful places to visit and grab something good to eat while you are walking around. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like such a good use for what was a very different place. I do like that stone bench, and the market looks popular.
ReplyDeleteLove the last shot and the soft glow of the light. Hope your weekend is going well.

"Fruitful". Ha! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been keeping a list of all the places you recommend, Grace...just in case I ever get to Perth!
ReplyDeleteAimee and you are living the good life, Grace. It looks like a fine market.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice place and the fruit looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great place to pick up some fresh veges and fruit. Love that mix and match bin. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have fresh produce so close to the city. A trip to the local fruit and vegetable market is a must whenever I am in a new city. I often think that the true city is on its markets.
ReplyDeleteLove visiting markets especially in different towns. My only wish is that we had a decent one closer to home.
ReplyDeleteSo much to discover in and around Perth, Grace - 5 weeks aren´t enough, I suppose...
ReplyDeleteWell, have fun at the book fair :-)
I've been there to take photos, but not on market day.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your book fair.
A nice place to have a breakfast.
ReplyDeleteWow! I ventured over to 'Perth in b/w. That is a dynamic seascape, your first shot.
ReplyDeleteMuch better than a supermarket.
ReplyDeleteI would love to shop and dine here! And it's only 5 minutes from the city!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great way to spent a day! Arianna
ReplyDeleteLove the "Gaudi" bench and the iron work!
