It was too cold on Saturday morning for ordinary individuals to be selling stuff at the car-boot sale but it seemed more and more market traders are there selling big piles of not very interesting random things.
It was warm enough walking round and the sun was out. I came home with a huge cauliflower, a pot of mini daffs to put on Mother and Father in Laws grave and this craft pack for one of the granddaughters.
Oh, nearly forgot - from the cake lady I bought a giant piece of chocolate flake cake because I've not baked lately! It divided into 3 pieces and was very sweet.
I went and put the pot of daffs on the grave later but the pot of cyclamen, which I'd put there a few weeks ago had vanished - I was going to bring it home and plant it.

potted plants left on graves are very often moved by the caretaker to facilitate mowing. It might have been moved somewhere near by. I understand why they do it, but I also think it is disrespectful to those who have placed flowers to the memory of their loved ones.
ReplyDeleteThe gravestone has a plinth just big enough for a small pot so isn't in the way of grass cutting. I expect it might have dried out and blown away.
DeleteHere in rural Wiltshire we once had a spate of potted plants being 'removed' from the graves in our tiny and quite remote churchyard. The person who did this was eventually discovered. I would advise reporting it to the churchwarden or church office.
ReplyDeleteThe graveyard there isn't organised by the church but by the council and is easily accessed but I expect the pot got blown away in windy weather.
DeleteA nice little haul from the car boot sale even if it was mainly traders. Cauliflowers seem to be small and expensive in the shops at the moment.

It's a cheap pitch for the market traders at a carboot sale. They sell every day.
ReplyDeleteLike the craft kit and it will be fun to make. The frost killed all my cyclamens but I’m leaving them to see if any little shoots come. Catriona
ReplyDeleteAt the cemetery, I dig a small hole and plant anything I bring to the grave because my potted plants and cut flowers also blow away in the wind.
ReplyDeleteDespite not being the best car boot sale, you still made nice purchases.
It's a shame when plants and flowers are stolen from graves. One can only hope that the takers are more in need of them than we realise.
