Beautiful morning for the first day of the long weekend.

Shawn at Kangaroo Island Living Honey has Creamed Honey back in stock, such a favourite.

Wanderlust Natives & Wildflowers are here with some gorgeous bouquets, I love those big Banksia menziesii.

Jelly.PortElliot have some great looking produce, and as well as coffee, they’ll have hot soup this morning.

Riverland Fresh Fruit are here, I missed them off the list yesterday, sorry.

No Hey Bagels, sending hugs and best wishes for Banjo.

It’s going to be a busy morning.

I’ve really been enjoying Francesco’s Virgara’s Garden freshly harvested celery this week. It’s so full of flavour. I have a plate with it chopped into bite size pieces, and some of Unique Cheeses Stokes Point Smoked Cheddar from King Island, just a crumble with each piece of celery, soooooo tasty!

The cheese also goes really well with the Braeburn apples from Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries. I’ll have to talk to Barb tomorrow about another cheese to try with my celery and apples.

Such a beautiful morning! So still, and the sun is shining.

Health by Flora are here today and next week, then Olivia will be taking a break till spring. She’ll still take orders through Instagram or message/phone so customers won’t miss out completely.
