Saturday is Lambousa market day. Overcast but still mid twenties. Really miss the fresh produce and nuts and honey. Not sure if they’ll ever return. We’ll probably take a look at the Girne market some Wednesday, although it’s not walking distance like “our” market. It is much bigger, though, and when we were in Famagusta during the pandemic the weekly city market was the source of most of our fruit and vegetables once it was allowed to reopen.
The most interesting stalls here are the charity ones. We do buy five CD’s at the cancer patients’ support. Ten lira each (£0.23, $0.41 CAD). Also a blue mug. Browse but don’t actually buy at the extensive book stall in support of animal rescue. Still have a number of unread or unfinished books, both “real” and digital. Do have memories of the first years we travelled, though, when we tended to buy anything we saw in English, resulting in a few quite unexpected winners. In those days the few books we brought from home had to meet strict criteria - appeal to both of us, ok to trade as we went, and not hardcover (too heavy).
