St Andrews Market

Hippies and Gypsys it felt like the 70’s again. How cool is st andrews Market??? There is no pretention, it is very laid back, and whimsical- I love whimsical.  It just had a good vibe in the air. People were talking to each other with real interest and compassion. Of course I struck a lovely day. People were sitting around on the grass or in tents. And there was freshly squeezed fruit and vegie juice, and vegetarian foods. And families everywhere, I overheard one girl talking to another and saying that she has a 15 month old daughter named ” Alchemy”….quaint heh?

And tongue in cheek one guy in a food van, told me that there were lots of families there, I agreed and he said that children were very economical. ” Do tell “, says I , Dryly. Well the government gives them a few thousand towards the babies. ” Ah………..I get where hes going. LOL

All too soon, it was pack up time, and we started heading back home, through the beautiful countryside of warryndyte, back to suburbia……..no use sighing, I will just make myself a promise, to do it again soon.

    I love St Andrews’ Market - and haven’t been for far too long.
    Will put it on the list - glad you had so much fun :)
    PS - Kids cost far far far more than they can make from one government handout - surely it should only take one birth to realise that!!

    Haven’t been up to St. Andrews market for awhile.. yes it might be worth another trip. It is a nice vibe up there.
    I used to frequent the place alot a few years ago. However, as my youth runs away from me I have found myself becoming much more mainstream and conservative… perhaps I need another visit to St. Andrews to rekindle my gypsy spirit.

    The Curry Man at St. Andrews offers a good feed… gee I’m getting hungry now.

    I highly recommend stopping off at the Warrandyte Berry Farm on the road home for some homemade strawberry ice cream, etc. etc. Absolutely delightful! You can get strawberry ice cream, or vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries and a lovely berry sauce type thing. Yum!
