That second Sunday in May is almost upon us again, which means florists and chocolate truffle-makers are working in overtime getting ready for a stream of Mother's Day orders that's sure to come their way.
Often as a special treat for mum, you'll see people out and about at breakfasts, brunches and lunches all throughout Sunday, but this year could be a chance to do a little something different that supports local business and still gives mum a day out that she'll love- take her out to your local market!
While I usually blather on about Queensland markets each week on 612ABC, it really is time I took this round-up Australia-wide. Here then are a range of markets from Cairns to Beaconsfield to Glenorchy for you and your mum to potter through unique arts and crafts, try on handmade clothes, and of course sample gourmet foods.
