Thursday Market at St. Jacobs

Where are we today ?

Plattsville Ontario

       What can I say just another awesome day again. Bet you getting tired of hearing this, but thats the best we can do when hanging out here in Ontario for 5 months, just moving from here to there and doing STUFF.

       Todays stuff was to head on out to the St. Jacobs Market just cause it is open on Thursday and we have a free day (almost). So after walkabouts and things done we hopped in the car to the market. Perfect day for it weather wise and as usual always busy there. Also Thursday is the stockyards at the same place, cattle auctions and all makes it that much busier.

        We did find a parking spot a long way away, but we are here for the walking any who. So walking we did for close to 3 hours.

from the parking lot to the market a good 5 minute walk

contstruction site for the new market building

wagon rides anyone ?

        As usual lots of buskers about providing atmosphere and entertainment, notice their designated spots in the blue circles. We also ran into a couple we met at Rock Glen Resort on Arkona who are camped close by, its amazing with so many people here at the market

fun time here and sure they make good money too

Niagara fresh peaches

       We came home with fresh picked blueberries, 2 cobs of corn , 1 kilo of fresh cranberries, and some garlic turkey sausage. An homemade hot horseradish all very good and consumable, thats what we need. No room for stuff.

We can enjoy a bit of reading in the afternoon shade

        Now home I puttered around for a couple hours, think I found the source of dampness on our bedroom carpet. A bit of water seepage from our fresh water tank filler hose, when it is full to the top. Solution don't fill it to the top anymore when we are moving the coach. 

Corn and Turkey sausage on the Q 

add a bit of bean salad and we had a tasty supper.

       There ya go another fun busy day in the land of fulltimers. Works for us.

        Thanks for the visit again.
