Boot Sale - Blakemere

More bargains from the boot sale at Blakemere this morning. Cloudy but the rain held off. Hazel got a nice tin sandwich box, hooks, a circle maker, notebook, box files etc. I got some DVD's including Bring Me The Head Of Alfred Garcia, Went The Day Well. Spindle of assorted blank DVD's CD's, low energy light bulbs and plastic ray gun.

Rainy Walk

Rather soggy walk to the organic farm shop and cafe this lunch time. The rain just got heavier and heavier and I got wetter and wetter. To make things worse the cafe seems to have undergone some sort of transformation and become more meaty and more expensive. The soup of the day was chick pea and butter bean - yuk! So we came home for fakey bacon and scrambled egg sandwich! Which cost us about a quid instead of the £15. More money for Archie's MA fund. Lots of traffic down the lane and some massive 4 by 4's going too fast round those bends. Lucklily we survived and managed to get home with all our limbs intact. I had to change my clothes though as I was soaked to the skin. Hazel cleverly remembered to take a brolly.

3 Boot sales

Bumper crop of boot sales today with one at Verdin Park, another at Antrobus Village Hall and further bargains at Wincham Primary School. Hazel got most of the bargains which you can see below - brass door plates, a Peter Pan lifter, bean slicer, clamps ( Archie got these ) Rattle Snake Eggs ( tee hee) and lots of plants etc. I didn't get anything despite looking through many boxes of records, books, CD's and DVD's. Hazel gave me a tiny tin train wagon she's found as a consellation prize. Then round to Granma and Audrey's to read the papers and Archie planted a Lupin.

Boot Sale In Hartford

It was a sunny morning on Sunday so we headed to Hartford for the boot sale in the college car park. I had a bad cold so wasn't really in a bargain hunting mood. In fact, after one circuit of the stalls I was ready to go home again and curl up in front of the TV and vegetate and drink lemon and honey drinks. Hazel was OK at that time ( but since caught my cold ) and found lots of bargains including some battered toffee and biscuit tins, a silver propelling pencil, lots of plants and other stuff too numerous to remember! Archie was in Scotland looking at Glasgow art school ( much of which is still in a bad way after the terrible fire ) so missed the sale. Hazel wanted to go and visit the bluebell wood again but I really just wanted to go home. There's always next weekend.
