Kidron: Worth a Visit

Last week, while at a work meeting, a colleague suggested I take a detour on the way home & visit Kidron, where each Thursday the Amish people gather at the local auction house to trade their wares. It was such a great place to visit that I had to post a few pictures.
My absolute favourite is people-watching. There was a little blonde boy about Jack's age, in his straw hat and cloth trousers and barefoot. I couldn't stop staring at him, wondering how his life is and how much it differed from Jack's.

The Amish buggies, all lined up at the auction house.

Inside the auction house. I find the auctioneers fascinating and have no idea what they are saying, although every now and again I heard the word 'cow", I think.

Although these kids are all shoed-up, most of the Amish kids we saw were barefoot and it took me back to my childhood. At every given moment in the summer, I'd be racing around with bare feet, all dusty and dirty. Even now, when I garden I don't wear shoes and I love the feel of cool grass under my feet.
