Look up...

As mentioned before, there is something else special about Coombs...

Any time it's mentioned people will say, "that's the place with the goats on the roof!"

And indeed there are...

Up there on the main roof of the market...

Living quite happily...

 King of the castle.

Like something out of Heidi...

These gals just hang out and graze and snooze and play all day...

 All of these pictures were taken from the outside patio area where people come to have lunch with the goats..

Later in the day they wander back into the shade to snooze away the evenings...

I would say it's a pretty good life for these goats...

When in Coombs...

If you're ever on Vancouver Island, you MUST make a trip to Coombs.

This sleepy little pit stop of a town has been transformed because of 2 peoples grand idea, which is this...

Because of this market, Coombs has become a mecca of a market...

There's even tour buses that come just for the shopping...

And OH what shopping there is!

All of the roofs are thatched and there's something else thats special about these roofs ...

But that's another post..

Inside it's a plethora of goods from close and far away places...

mmmm......cheese....

Lovely breads....

Hot sauce galore...

Produce, handmade sausage and of course...

CHOCOLATE!

In the market for a hat?...

How about some lighting?...

Christmas shopping for the kids in your lives?

Dishes for a house warming?

And if you're hungry?

The food is simply...

HUGE!

And DELICIOUS!

So next time you're in the town of Coombs, stop on by...

You'll love it!
