Car boot gold.
We arrived at the Tintern car boot sale nice and early this morning. I had a £20 note burning a hole in my pocket and strict instructions from Tel to come back with at least one piece of gardening equipment....and not too much tat.
I thought it was a really good car boot with an interesting selection of items.
My first purchase was a garden fork. Then I bought a 1970s radio clock alarm...very groovy. Next were 4 spoons. Graham bought me 4 egg cups by Hornsea Pottery. Then I spotted this amazing postcard in a frame.....its the strangest thing I ve ever seen. The man on the stall said it is something to do with Steiff bears!!!! My final buy was a 1950s small table....with lovely small blue tiles on the top. Graham negotiated the price down to £8.
Car boot sales are great fun.

This may be Mecki... a popular German hedgehog, star of a comic strip and made into Steiff toys. What a great find.
