A bright Sunday morning and me and my mom in law head out to Haque Academy to the Farmers market. It had been happening at the Lyceum for a while and now in my neighbourhood I felt I must visit. There were quite a few stalls and the atmosphere was very welcoming with a tinge of bohemia especially with the music.
