While collecting Mum’s watch, which needed a new battery, from Aspiring Jewellers (where the assistant raved about Mum’s tweed skirt – clearly the attention she’s been getting is a fashion thing) we spotted a small number of stalls set up under a spreading tree. There we found beautiful, handmade crafts.
Mum and I each chose a bowl from the work of Invercargill ceramicist, John Kalb. He collects his clay from sites in Southland and travels to various markets to sell his work. I bought one of his blue jugs years ago at the Wānaka Sunday Market. The market doesn’t start up again until Labour Weekend, so it was great to find this mini market.
Earlier in the day we returned to Albert Town and I left Mum in the car while I briefly explored the Clutha Riverside walk which is part of the Te Araroa Trail.
