Judith and David introduced me to a totally delicious sugary treat at Clarence Town Markets today. Their stall 'The Flossery' sells 30 different flavours of the all time fete favourite Fairy Floss.

Denise was selling beautiful Pineapple and Melon Jam for the Tractor Trek Group, a Central West NSW charity at the Rotary markets in Orange, Anne
