The early bird....


The forecast was good, so the alarm was set and Perry and I nipped out early to a couple of car boot sales. We wanted some plants, he was after vegetables, I wanted some border fillers, and the boot is definitely the cheapest place to find them. We both managed to stock up, and there was a little bonus for me. As we arrived at the second sale, I immediately spotted this vegetable rack. It was being used to store some old magazines. I asked if it was for sale, and the seller said it was mine for £1, so I snapped it up. 
It didn't look like this. I spent an hour scrubbing away grease and dog hair (I didn't do a before picture as it wasn't a very edifying spectacle), but it has come up beautifully.

Home to spend the whole day in the garden, planting, weeding and tidying in the sunshine.
