142 Addison Rd Marrickville, Sundays… Another blissful Sunday morning at the Marrickville organic markets. Coffee first, to aid important decision making.

It was small but worth going for the wonderful vegetable stall and is infinitely more relaxing than some larger markets where the hustle can get tiresome.
