Can't wait for the Bedale car boot to start up. Is it Easter when it starts again?

I also need to get rid of stuff, but it tends to go in dribs and drabs as I'm not good at it.No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.5 -
Ooh, really?! If you are coming far north (Yorkshire being somewhat on the large side, as in hours of driving from one end to the other, or one side to the other), let us know! Mind you, there's not much left to discover after all our posts.Rosa_Damascena said:

With apologies to @Sayschezza.....😉
Found another Hobbs item yesterday on my way to pick up the Chrimbo goodies from Booths, again in the Samaritans chazza in Ripon - a white cotton classic shirt, looks unworn but no tags, £5. They also had a fab Hobbs weddingy guesty outfit of jacket and dress in electric blue. I'm intrigued as to why this sudden influx of b/n or hardly worn Hobbs items has suddenly materialised in Ripon! 😊9
