Much bigger than I was expecting today, with more interesting-looking stalls - but nothing for me in the end.

Same here, but the other half got o few odds and ends and 2 pizzas for a £1, which I may taste in due course,
Cold feet defeated me in the end and I bought nowt.

Back on this morning - rather muddy and nothing of interest for me, except the blackbird who was making it very plain that we were in his territory.

People do seem confident that the snow is over - lots of skis for sale.

Actually, there was something interesting - it's just come back to me. It was a Moon globe, about fifteen inches in diameter.

A bit of a thin wind up there just now - better stuff than yesterday, but still nothing for me. The blackbird was still going at it full bore. It was interesting, though, to see how much drier it was than just twenty four hours before - and there was a car with a House of Bread slogan on the rear post.

Big one again today - but still nothing for me. The blackbird was still giving a full performance.

A large selection of walking sticks was available, if you could get that far.

We ended up a gigantic car boot near Junction 11. Not been before, couldn't believe the size. Came away with quite a few bits.

I found a box of corks and a wine press all for £5, the corks are worth about £10 and the wine press about £40.
I also went to cock sparrow lane, a waste of time, it was much smaller than Stafford and nothing interesting at all, Stafford has a much better class of tat!

On the back field today, as a result of the circus's presence - and the concept of the straight line, normally a difficult thing, apparently, seems to have broken down completely.

It seems to be International Mattock Day, as the only items that I bought were a lady's mattock or 'Mini-Tiller'..

...and a full-sized item, as well...

The ink cart's are back, I got 3 sets for £5 today, a very good selection of genuine car booters but I'm sure I missed some stalls with the set out so chaotic!
