The Armorial Bearings of Kingston

 
   
 

 

A day in the Life.....

 

 

On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings; 6:00 a.m. and sometimes earlier, the bustle of the vendors can be heard as they set up their stalls . As the morning rolls onward, the vendors' vehicles pull up to their designated spots; vans and trucks swollen and artfully packed with produce.. Late comers coyly nestle in, watching (and being watched) as they carefully edge in to their spots, being careful not to upset anyone’s display. Poles can be heard clattering to the ground and the occaisonal loud sail-flap of canvas as the wind gusts across the square. Canopies set up, the tables are unfolded and set out, and buckets are filled with water to keep produce fresh. Fruits and vegetables are carefully polished and lined up in their baskets and placed upon display. The weather is watched closely by the vendors and extra weights for canopies are distributed to those that may not have planned for a windy day. On the days that the market is not operating, the vendors harvest crops and and sometimes supplement their stock with produce from other suppliers.
