Chinaman's Hill Market 29 September 2012

Go along and see the new market in Grey Lynn. The market is at the top of what is known as Chinaman's Hill since the area was once populated by many Chinese market gardeners. They used Western Springs for water and could be seen carrying it from there in buckets on long poles, many years ago now.

The market is in the car-park of Farmville, which has excellent fruit and vegetables at really good prices. 

Go to the Surrey Crescent shops, cnr of Surrey Crescent and Great North Road, Grey Lynn, Auckland, NZ
 
The market is open 9am - 4pm Saturdays

Yoo EssAye Tiny Titles - Kraftbomb 27 May 2012

This weekend is Kraftbomb at Grey Lynn Community Centre, I'll have some new Tiny Title books made from ephemera collected on my poetic journey to America recently.  They're called Yoo Ess Aye Tiny Titles and contain poetry written when I was on the trip or soon afterward.

The blog about my travels is here, http://poeticjourneytoamerica.blogspot.co.nz/ including a certificate to show I bought trees to cover the carbon cost of my enjoyment, seeing friends and discovering the stunning U S A. I went to Hawaii, San Francisco, Seattle, Iowa, Chicago and New York, after cruising to Tahiti from Auckland, Aotearoa, NZ.  A boat uses less carbon per person than a plane.  I took mainly trains across the mainland for the same reason, also, it's great to see the country you're travelling through by rail.

Also, some of the Family of Artist books with CDs which brightspark books published just before I left are in my crafty suitcase to bring to the market.
