"Baskets Full Of Weeds".

 We rose at six and drove to a carboot sail arriving about an hour later.

My self propagated perennials.

I heard one browsing customer say to someone:

"Baskets full of weeds".

It wasn't the best of car boot selling days but we had a ride out and our sales paid for our diesel and our shopping.


Car boot sale punters.

I will post another of Bronte's walks in my next post.  

Hope England win tonight against the mighty Spain.

  4. Culture Vultures JayCee. I don't like people who aren't interested in gardens or plants. I think its hide behind the couch and cheer on INGERLAND tonight. Let's hope Keir give everyone a day off tomorrow.

  5. Probably GZ😊. Although characters make the world go round. I love people watching and listening. Charles Dickens use to go on 25 miles walks into many un seedy places and no doubt met a lot of his future characters for his books? It was good to chat today to people. Thanks GZ.

  7. Yes I agree Jules. After the Covid lockdown everything is a bonus. We wouldn't have made any money at home today. Thanks.

    1. I never had any hope for England. It was just a matter of time before Spain scored again.

    2. What about the bagatelle corner that followed Spain's second goal? It seemed amazing that the ball didn't go in for us.

    3. England had the luckiest draws but they didn't have the goal scorers. They are like the Premiership teams chasing Man City. Not enough fire power. It was a great tournament and the best team won.

  9. Ugh. Why must people be rude? I will never understand it. Although it was your opportunity to say, "Weeds??? I beg your pardon...." and give them a lecture of plants.

  10. Some people aren't worth argueing with Debby.

  11. One man's meat is another man's poison - such people possibly thrive on begonias in impossible neon colours and weird chrysanthemums (weeds in my view)

  12. Very true Tigger's Mum. I meet a lot of people who have no interest in plants or gardens. It saddens me. I couldn't cope without a garden.
