Local George Thomson organised a market day next to Piha Store. I bought old vinyl Crowded House, Harry Belafonte and Michael Jackson’s Thriller for $2 each, a “Ngati Piha” T-Shirt and got given a volume of Hemingway short stories for free. Read my newspaper with an outstanding cup of coffee and a sticky French pastry from the Store while listening to George and his mate on guitar. A relaxed start to the day. If this was a success, George plans another for December. $5 for a stall.
