    We don't usually do Boot Sales, but DD wanted to get a tent for a festival so we braved a local school one this morning.

    As well as a few books and cushions she managed a tent for £5 and ... a clarinet for £7! :TWell pleased with that, as she is a music graduate with a variety of instruments to her name and, having Googled the maker, it is clear she has a veritable bargain. She is sitting by me playing it now, and it sounds beautiful. :A
