Times being what they are, we are obliged to liquidate our assets.
We decided to go to a car boot sale to make our fortune.
Some of us brought teddy bears to sell.
Some of us brought perfumes from India, and musical instruments that they had made them selves from gas cylinders.
Some of us brought their old frocks that were impossible to get into cos they had got too fat just a tiny bit too small.
Some of us were capable of selling just about anything..
to anyone...
Then the rain started...
in earnest.
Wet dogs...
...attacked innocent glove puppets.
And Darling d...
...took lots of arty photos.
But when we went home, our assets had become liquid...
even the ones that we hadn't sold...

Oh no! It looks like there was some great stuff there though- I do love a good car boot sale especially in France. You all look very good humoured despite the weather!
Hope you are now warm and dry.
Daisy, it was enormous for French standards, but everything kept disappearing under tarpaulins, so luckily Mysweet h didnt spend all his winnings on other peoples rubbish.
Zhoen, we are warm and dry but the clothes are all still drying out in front of the fire...
... and in the end you decided to keep one priceless antique ...
We're planning one here in May/June but I would have LOVED to be at yours.
What interesting items. It almost makes me want to go to a yard sale. Especially the plastic boobs.
tristan, we were forced to keep quite a few antiques...I will give them to EMAUS, the french charity.
Suzy, not as much as I would love to be at yours!
20thC woman,I would like to know how Mysweet got hold of those boobs in the first place...if nyou see what I mean...
I bought a Wedgewood dish at a vide grenier yesterday for 2€. I am very proud of myself.
Hehe my fotos are great, arent they!! :)
They are really rather fab, Darling D!
Awww! I love seeing pics of Porridge!
It looks like it was fun even though it rained. I like Darling D's pics.
Darling d I know you have your eye on the big expensive daddy camera...but you'll be lucky, is all I can say!
lucy , Dd has got her eye in hasnt she?
Dingo, there were about 50 pictures of Porridge taken that day, I should open her a flicker account...
Oh, brave souls! What's the French for car boot sale?
We really need to have one of these, to thin down the ever increasing piles of 'thingsthatusedtobeuseful'.
