The magnificent May market

THE rain really did stay away and the sky was a crisp blue at the May Gordonton Country Market. Perhaps it was a tad on the chilly side, but there were hot drinks to sip, doughnuts to nibble and way  more as the sunshine streamed through the trees.  Number 8 Network had its ace team on the job – Iris Riddell and Ciaran Warner.  Annette Taylor lollygagged behind with the camera.

 

Our friendly busker kept people tapping their toes –

 

And the gang from St John’s were out in force –

This little girl demonstrates patience while she waits for her donut –

Concentration is everything when preparing fine food –

 

There was a pukeko pinny as well but these rather caught the eye –

 

Plenty to choose from –

Ace reporter Iris Riddell was put to work wrangling the Mushroom Kids –

And didn’t she – and they – do well –

 

Then she was allowed to get some herbs for Taupo garden –

Meanwhile, Ciaran was hard at work getting words for a story – (watch this space for an exclusive Warner piece on the Mushroom Kids!)

Hot chocolate kept this one fueled –

 

And there was plenty to smile about –

And when we left, the toes were still tapping –

Thanks Gordonton Country Market organisers – it was a pleasant start to the weekend.  Looking forward to June!
