Sunday is Bazaar Day so off we go to Uman to stock up on essentials and peruse the treasures at the Babushki flea market. The day’s haul includes:
An assortment of soviet-era match boxes
A pink and white homemade cotton housedress
Bicycle wrenches
A scythe with hand-hewn wooden handle
Dried green peas
A spoon with a red bakelite handle
Two cast iron pans
Sweet cheese
Paper clips
Blue plastic buckets with lids
An electric kettle (a gift)
Dog food
Back at home, we celebrate with strawberries picked fresh from the garden served with a dollop of sweet cheese. Yes.
