Cheese seller one. We only had one T shirt between us!
Cheese seller 2 with bad hair day! Bad tummy day!
Hi Folks,
New years eve and a long day for the old people. We were up at 515 via the alarm of course and on our way to Salamanca Market just after 6.
We set up the stall with Ann and then waited for the cheese to arrive. The first ferry doesn't leave Bruny Island until 7 so it wasn't there till after 8.
After loading the cheese into the cold cabinet and laying out the sourdough bread we had a quick instruction session from Nick the owner on what to do.
We kicked off and i mainly looked after the bread which all had to be bagged and Susan proffered the cheese for tasting and looked after the cheese sales. Ann meanwhile was doing her thing with her range of product.
The first hiccup of the day was the till breaking down. It died and Nick was unable to breathe life into it when he returned from his stall on the Taste Festival. We proceeded on with the cash drawer out. The day was busy with all the bread selling out before midday. We started packing up per usual at 3 and were home by 530. After an R&R break we changed and drove 2 minutes down to Peppermint Bay Resort For a New years get together with the locals. The food was provided by the owners. The weather was mild and we were able to sit out side looking over the sea. Most people including us headed off before 11. We returned to our cabin and had some cheese (tasting left overs)and wine to see the new year in. I noted that when i went to turn the internet off in the car there seemed to be very light drizzle falling!
Happy new year everybody!
Cheers Simon
