Day 2551 The annual event.

8th August 2025

I spent part of the morning rebuilding the coffee table that we lovingly refinished, but watching Larry hauling out stuff for his annual garage sale.

He and his mate set out the tables and placed large plastic bins on them containing a load of old tat left over from last year. He usually starts on the Friday and end on the Saturday. 

We go over and take a look at what he’s got and buy something and give moral support. 

Garage sales are very popular, and throughout the summer they spring up all over the town.

There can be a few jewels amongst the weeds, but we have not found any, but it’s the luck of the draw.

We had a rare dinner out, with our friends John and Patty, they do similar things but on a much larger scale. They have a large barn where they can handle large dining tables, oh! to have space.

It was a good catch up, and a chance to get away from cooking and washing up.
