Market at Laborie on Saturdays

Why it's called the Laborie Lazy Market I have yet to find out but we took another sunny morning out to have a look yesterday. It commences at 0900 and I got some beautiful plums for R10 a punnet, fresh figs for R25 a punnet, all locally sourced in Paarl. The plants and herbs stall had artichokes, spring onions, lettuce, celery and other herbs and plants on display. I was tempted to buy the artichoke plant but changed my mind because of the aphids and went for the others instead. Non-edible stalls like photo frames, clothes, bric-a-brac or food stalls with burgers, boerewoers, cakes, buns, salads all ready for sale with coffee, cold drinks and even beer!(before 1000?!). Seats a plentiful and music to get you in the mood to hang around, chill out.
