Treated ourselves to a weekend away for August Bank Holiday.
Glad we did, as the sun shone and we had a great time.
Main destination was Shepton Mallet Flea Market.
Quite a few friends who are very reliable with recommendations said we 'had to go'. They were right.
Can't begin to describe this amazing event. A seemingly endless sea of stalls as far as we could see. Each one a gem. So much individuality. There really is something for everyone.
We commented that we could have fitted out a whole house. Furniture, bedding, kitchen items etc etc and it would have been fab. Still gutted the car was too small to bring home a row of old cinema seats.
One of the few photos of John without a purchase...
Quite a few journeys back to the car....
Kevin contemplating how said purchases are to fit into said car. To quote Victoria Wood, it was a bit like a challenge on the Krypton Factor...
Somehow it all went in.
The weekend had other highlights. Return visit to the National Trust gem 'Tyntesfield. House and gardens are wonderful. Clevedon was a new discovery. Loved the town, and particularly the pier. The only Grade 1 listed pier in Britain. Also Portishead. The Marina area is brilliant. Would move there tomorrow.
More travels planned soon. Lots of plans for the business as well. Watch this space.....
