Our very small monthly community market is closing down after more than three years and I’m sad. The market was my lifeline when we moved here and I broke my ankles a month later. I couldn’t physically go to the market but new friends would check in on WhatsApp. ‘Want anything from the market?’ I did. And then they would drop it off or get someone else to drop off my parcel of goodies.
Arthur’s Bakery biscuits, veg samosas from Debbie, jams from The Jam Lady, face treats from Moya Essentials, serum from Karen. But now it’s over. These community gatherings integrated me into Clovelly life. The plant people, bird people, snake people, mountain people, the sea people. Farewell little market.
