It Happens. There is no rule book on how memories surface. You don’t know what these memories are until each is triggered. You don’t know what that trigger will be until it triggers and you won’t know when, until it happens. And if none of this happens, then there is no memory. Thankfully, food is one trigger which constantly awakens new childhood memories for me. They surface from that dormant labyrinth of moments, a trove of memories buried in bygone years.
Visits to the Queen Victoria Market rarely fail to awaken glimpses into my early childhood, shopping there with mum. I learnt from an early age that going to the QVM meant an early morning rise, a tram journey there and back and of holding onto a countless number of string bags whose sole purpose was to be overfilled with a myriad of fruit, vegetables, seafood, meats, small goods, dairy products and anything else “we have run out of.” Knowing that there was no use complaining as each bag got heavier to carry. Mum was on a mission, each stall displaying large price tags for the stacked fresh produce on display, some carrying warnings - Do Not Touch The Produce and stall holders becoming vocal with customers if they dared disobey. Listening to mum directing vendors to only sell her fruit and vegetables and especially tomatoes, from the front of the display which in her view were supposedly in better condition than the “rubbish” from the not so visible rear. Butchers and fishmongers contributing to the cacophony of noise in the meat hall, yelling out their specials, each attempting to outdo the other on pricing trying to lure customers their way. Finding solace in the deli and produce hall where the marble countered shops always presented as crowded and overstocked with small goods, dairy products and other wares, seemingly impossible for the vendors to work in efficiently as they looked down at customers waiting to fill their orders. Most times the vendor would lean outward and give me a slice of ham or a piece of cheese to sample whilst waiting for mum to decide on what to order. The Queen Victoria Market has always been a place to enthral with its plethora of food, and with the crowds, the noise and the smells capturing countless snapshots of moments. However, the pinnacle of shopping with mum at QVM was knowing that before boarding the tram for the journey home, the last purchase that mum would make would be from the American doughnut van, those delicious sugar sprinkled fried balls of dough with jam centres so hot that they should have had a warning label. But for a seven year old, blistered lips meant nothing. During the tram ride home, my tongue would work overtime, licking the remnants of sugar and jam that had settled on my mouth and chin, the perfect antidote for soothing burnt lips.

The vibrant energy draws me in as I stroll through the bustling Queen Victoria Market.
The scents of fresh produce and sizzling food fill the air, but the irresistible aroma of bratwurst captures my attention.
I approach the stall, where a friendly vendor greets me warmly.
He asks if it’s my first time trying a bratwurst, and I can’t help but share my grandmother’s stories about this place.
He carefully crafts a special roll for me, topped perfectly with mustard and barbeque sauce.
I take my first bite, and the flavours explode in my mouth, flooding me with memories of my grandmother’s kitchen.
At that moment, I realized this wasn’t just food; it was a connection to my past, a taste of family heritage.
And a reminder that some experiences are truly timeless.

At the new #TestingGround at #QueenVictoriaMarket for #Midsumma a durational performance by Italian-Kiwi artist Ivan Lupi ‘Not as simple as it sounds - Concerto’ where over 11 days he struck triangles over 100,000 times, in commemoration of the estimated 100,000+ homosexuals arrested, abused and killed during the Holocaust. For this version of the performance the audience were invited to participate, with Ivan reciprocating, hence ‘concerto’. Simple yet profound and moving. Sadly I didn’t have time to return on a later day. (at Testing Grounds) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpGCFKtuJY2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New bar layout! Open for business! With the new restrictions in place we have adapted the bar to be retail focused, because the world doesnt stop because of a virus. That means we have extended the range of wines available at Lygon Street and turned it into a Bottle shop! We have put in a selection of our favourite wines from tastings over the last few years. And some of Marshall and Toms favourites as well. Something for everyone as usual, including the top end '71 Henschke Hill of Grace. And of course, If you still need a pizza we can do take away sourdough pizza, aswell as cheese and paté. #thesustainablewinemerchant #trybuydrinkreturnrefillrewine #returnrefillrewine #minimalintervention #consciousconsumer #sustainableliving #zerowaste #lowimpact #refillrevolution #circulareconomy #queenvictoriamarket #sustainability #saynotosingleuse #reduce #reuse #organicwine #preservativefree #glutenfree #pizza #cheese #goodfood (at ReWine) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ROAmcD3Jg/?igshid=fwycofxfaux2

#42 KENSINGTON PALACE Kensington Palace sits at the far west end of the parakeet-infested Hyde Park, not far from Exhibition Road and various Prince Albert themed megastructures. It currently still officially houses Prince William and various pointless minor members of the royal family, but large sections are now a museum run by Historic Royal Palaces. Its main draw at time of visiting was a Princess Diana fashion show (hard pass), a really excellent William and Mary exhibition, and some Queen Victoria apartments which did their best to ascribe some interesting and dynamic human qualities to Vic but still managed to paint a portrait of a rather sad, boring sex maniac. Lovely palace though. #pins #enamelpin #enamelpins #pinstagram #kensingtonpalace #historicroyalpalaces #london #queenvictoriamarket https://www.instagram.com/p/B1G1n2JpQl6/?igshid=s821txdzcxy0

The Morning chill unfolds in anticipation
Of a hot Bratwurst breakfast in my hands
A moment suspended, flavour and time
Here in the heart of the city
I taste life, one bite at a time
One bite at a time

After work one Wednesday three of us went to the #QueenVictoriaMarket #NightMarket for some Christmas-in-July action. We started with some warm cocktails, moved to skewered meats, and finished with fresh and hot jam donuts. Delicious!
