Matakana Markets


This photo was taken probably around 8 years ago in Matakana on a Saturday morning when they hold their weekly farmers market.  Unfortunately with this region being part of Auckland they are under level 4 lockdown.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup.

..."M"atakana "M"arkets is a twofer! I wonder if lockdowns will ever end?

I haven't been to that market although my late husband and I used to visit Matakana a lot as he had cousins living there. (They still do)

So sad. Ingo went to the market today. Alone. He said, it´s no fun, don´t come along.

Matakana seems to have been the 'in' palce for some years. When I first saw the name I thought of Matakana island near Tauranga and was slightly bewildered. But no. I would love to visit the market. On my 'one-day' list

Love markets. We had our share of lockdowns so I feel your pain.

Must look a little empty now then

I feel for the stall holders, they must be struggling not being able to open as usual. Hopefully they will soon be able to open up again.

Looks like a great market, too bad the area is under lockdown.

I like the picture and the nice red color.
It wasn't a lock-down but a lot of the businesses in my area closed for about a week and a lot of people stayed home in March of 2020. It felt sad and depressing. That's when I started going on long evening walks which helped a lot. That was a year and a half ago and we've been fully open ever since. It's hard to imagine still being locked down.

Great.
