Friday market

I battle to find content on what is on offer at the Montessori Friday Market. So if anyone is interested in trying their hand at a bit of blogging I run a free ‘no frills’ blogging and internet marketing workshop for Dummies. More info or add a comment below

Saturday market

A delicious hand made pattie with onion, garlic and soya sauce inside. Fresh lettuce, tomato and special California Sauce. All on a fresh bun. Everything is sourced locally and fresh.
