Hugh's "Man That Does" had such a lovely time with Nigel at the village plant sale on Saturday, that he wondered if Nigel might also like to join him at the local car boot sale on Sunday. Again, he was looking for a few more plants, but was sure Nigel would have fun mooching from table to table to see what treasures were availing themselves.
Well, it goes without saying that Nigel was ready and waiting with several bags for life and his wallet when Arthur came to pick him up at the crack of dawn. There is absolutley nothing Nigel likes better than a good delve amongst other peoples unwanted bits and pieces.
It was hard to know what direction to go in first, Nigel wasn't looking for anything in particular, but ..............
...... as soon as he saw a wonderful pot of cactus's/cacti, brimming with babies, that Arthur said he could, if he wanted, split up and separate for just £1 Nigel couldn't contain himself. He wasn't going to split them, not unless the pot got too crowded, he was just going to admire it. It was turning out to be a bit of a cactus fest type weekend for him. There were other treasures abound and therefore much excitement when the little fella returned to Le Chicken Coop for us all to admire his considered purchases.
It goes without saying that his cactus's/cacti were much admired. In Harolds, London's emporium to the stars, Hugh exclaimed a pot such a Nigel's would have had a designer price tag slapped on it that would have made your eyes water, he had really struck de rigueur gold.
There was homemade damson jam for me, a crystal cut decanter (the real thing, not pressed glass) for Darrell's bubble bath collection in his "designer bathroom" for £1 ..........
Nigel also found a vintage beaded iguana and crocodile, that he bought for just 30p each and which Darrell and Hugh immediately started enviously cooing over and coverting. These Nigel thought, would be best put away safely and then given as birthday or Christmas presents after seeing their reaction.
It was, again, a wonderful trip out for Nigel, especially after seeing everyones reaction to his thoughtful buys...........

What a great trip. I haven't been to "Harold's" in years. Selecting items from the food hall and taking them to Hyde Park for a picnic is a wonderful thing to do.
