Carseldine Farmers Markets

Hi Aunty Bessie, 

I am about to head off to our local farmers markets to buy our weekly fresh food and wanted to share some photos of it with you.

It's set up in a lovely green space, it use to be a part of Queensland University but now is just government offices. 

There are all kinds of stalls, everything from fresh food, plants, takeaway style food, clothing, candles, arts and crafts and coffee! 

There is even a petting zoo! Chris and I always go here first thing before he head into get our food. They are just all so cute and its really lovely seeing the little kids learning. 

The markets have really fun signs all over the place, a lot of them are very funny! This one says: Water for your dog or short people with low standards. We don't judge! 

I think this is my favourite sign! Its a scarecrow and the signs says: this job isn't for everyone. But hay...its in my jeans! 

The fresh food here is so nice, it lasts so much longer than anything we get from the supermarkets too! Plus they often do great deals, like the table of produce they will sometimes do 4 things for $7, or even $1 each! 

Lots of really nice Asian herbs and vegetables, we do a lot of stirfrys with these 

This is the section for takaway style food and seating. They always have live music too which is really lovely. Some weeks we will have breakfast here. 

This is my favourite stall, fresh juices and smoothies and they put pieces of fruit on the straw too! 

Chris's favorite is the German sausages, they are huge! He eats so quickly though I didn't catch him! 

I hope you liked these photos, this week I am going to try and get some tropical fruit, mangos are coming into season and they are my favourite! 

Lots of Love,

Sarah

Parents Visit Brisbane August 2015



Hi Aunty Bessie,

 

I have another lot of photos to share with you, these are from when Mum and Dad came up and visited Chris and I in August - they visited you on their way up too I believe.

 

These photos are from the 15th of August when we went into the city to take a photo on the steps at the Post Office to commemorate the day the war ended and be where you and Grandma stood.

 

Mum and I taking in the lovely moment.

 

 

This was Chris watching what was being filmed right in front of the post office ...

A TV Advertisement for Vodaphone, they had a big film crew and lots of props and interestingly dressed people. It was kind of great in a way because it really gave a vibe of an event happening so we were able to better imagine how you and Grandma must have felt that day. 

This sign was on the side of the post office 

Mum on the phone to you! 

 

 

 

 

We then walked across to Southbank for dinner. It was a beautiful light at dusk

 

 

 

 

 

We had a really great afternoon and it was so nice to get to be with Mum and be in Brisbane together on such a special day, and to get to talk with you about it was just wonderful.

 

Lots of Love,

Sarah

Brisbane Night Noodle Markets

Hi Aunty Bessie,

 

These photos are from a few months ago now when I went along to the Night Noodle Markets in Brisbane along the SouthBank with my friend Caroline who has also moved up from Canberra to Brisbane this year!

~

There were so many stalls of amazing food, entertainment, music, dancing lions and of course the iconic Ferris wheel - have you ever been on it?

 

This is Caroline, we went to Uni together and worked together at a clothing store and at the apartments in Canberra - she is a lovely girl. 

I think the Ferris Wheel at night is one of my favourite things about the city. 

They had lanterns everywhere which made the whole event a lot more festive. 

Doughnut Time is a chain of shops in Brisbane who have this stall at many different markets and they sell HUGE doughnuts. We shared a nutella chocolate filled one for dessert, very tasty!

That is the Casino I believe 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed these snaps of Southbank, I am loving exploring the city!

Lots of Love,
Sarah
