Advent 2024 and the Christmas Car Boot-Sale

Last Saturday was the one-off winter car-boot sale, the weather was dry although cold and there were lots of people selling. Many were house clearance people who had obviously saved all their Christmas stuff (and lots of junk) to bring along and there were several dealers with wrapping paper etc. I would have taken a photo from the top of the field but found I'd forgotten my phone.

I didn't spend much money but missed out on a Portmeirion Holly and Ivy pasta/cereal dish by about 30 seconds although the lady who bought it paid £5 for it, which I wouldn't have paid anyway, so a good thing I missed it and didn't have to think about it!

This is what I bought and I was very pleased with the Christmas crackers that have a wind-up toy inside


to race, which will be lovely for Christmas Day now that I have the EGD here, more fun for an 8 year old than nail clippers or a golf tee!. The two other things were a Christmas card for one of the Grandsons for next year and a book of vintage Christmas illustrations meant for scrapbooking but they could be used to make cards. 

Total spend £3 and then I went home for breakfast.

Back Tomorrow
