That's a good link, thanks @goldfinches. You're right, I'd be very happy to have her as a neighbour
Good luck with your cartooning, and if you get sick of that top you can pass it to me

And……..hot on the heels of @Cherryfudge 😊another report from Bedale CB. First of all I got a J Crew navy shirty top with broderie anglaise detailing, b/n and £4. Then spotted a Radley brown leather cross body bag, b/n and with all the tags and the wee doggie and a dustbag. Was a bit pricy for a car boot but the leather was gorgeous. Also picked up some plants (aka snail food….what is it with the blooming snails this year!!!!). Went to the Thirsk CB too but just got a couple of smelly candles 🫢

Well spotted @Miró! Those are lovely.
And did you find wherever you went there were stall holders talking to other stall holders about the election?! Even so, it was a good morning. I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Lovely Radley @Miró and never mind the price, if you can afford it and will use it, it's worth it.
I popped into my favourite bhf shop at lunchtime between running errands and polishing off an incredibly long to-do list and found these two books for £2 each. The Anna Pavord is signed by her too and has a chapter headed "How To Plant An Alcoholic Hedge" which I thought sounded very me!
Then I went to the clothes rails for a quick look and found three pairs of trousers that I liked so the M*rks Classic navy cotton £8, the Old Navy beige cotton £7 and the Dorothy Perkins dark indigo jeans £6.50 all came home in my bag.
