Fuji
Market
  Sun shining but we wrapped up warm against the biting wind. Leaving our digs behind for the ten minute walk to the
lake.
  We passed an old
plane – garden feature ???.....and cut along a
ditch where many people were taking autumnal pictures.
 By the lake a car
parked just a bit too close to the waters edge. (Now at the back of the
Autumn Festival Market).
 What a happy
stall (for my cousin Vicky xx xx)
  I had seen this beast on the bus
coming in and wanted to investigate today. The stall owner and craftsman
welcomed us to take pictures if we visited his stall, no problem, we could see
some incredible carvings. The Harley Davidson ‘beast’
took him a hundred days, is made of Japanese zelkova (keyaki wood) and was
frighteningly expensive to buy.
 I loved the smaller penny farthing, price tag of two hundred and sixty nine
pounds, but it did have 20% off.........The big one was six hundred and five
with no discount. The chap also had some lovely planters, both free standing and
swinging on frames.
 We crossed the road admiring the colourful scenery.
 Looking back to where we had just come
from – what a backdrop, Mt. Fuji just peeking through the
trees.
 All manner of curiosities to buy, we
think these are dried mushrooms.
   People come from miles around, along
with the tourists to eat, mingle and then take in the autumn
foliage.......
 .........even Super Mario.
 Splash of colour
on the verge.
 Loved this chap on an advertisement.
 Looking from the market toward the hills (our digs far left).
 A better look at
‘the garden feature’ on our way back.
 A house that could
be in so many countries, this one though, has a view of Mount
Fuji.
   A typical
garden – a few rows of vegetables and a few trained trees. Straight lines
on an allotment and a web with a
view.
 Looking back over the town, time for a soak before supper
methinks.
ALL IN ALL A BUSY BUZZ WITH
AN AMAZING BACKDROP
VERY DIFFERENT GROCKLE
