Not a lot. Cheap things for the little Fair where they have deep pockets and short arms. I stopped at the Railway Line garden centre on the way home, so I could look for a Fuschia to replace Pam's which I managed to finish off (falling apples had broken off two branches). I trod on the last and broke it off at the roots. I also bought myself a pack of 6 beautiful autumn Cyclamens to help dress my stand at the little Fair. Three of them will look lovely in the French copper fish kettle I have.
This has been voted not just the best Garden Centre in Wales, but the best in the UK (Supreme Award given by the Garden Centre Association). It isn't that cheap, but not the priciest either (that award probably goes to one the other side of Hereford that I stopped at - just the once - and saw clematis which normally sell elsewhere for £14.99 at most, £7 dearer!!
Temptation beyond endurance!!!
Speaking to a friend who was in one of the Front Buildings at Builth and she had a dreadful time with few sales as people looking in the door, seeing it half empty, and walking away. She is thinking about slumming it in the back sheds next time . . .
This is for my collection of old and obscure bits. This has an open tongue layer, to stop a horse getting its tongue over the bit (that doesn't help control!)
This spoke to me - simple design, but no maker's mark on the bottom. WIll hopefully appeal to the modern home owner.
Three porcelain cats, German, marked 1885. The exact thing on Worthpoint, but you have to pay a chunk to join that.
A Victorian/early 20th C Dairy cream skimmer.
A couple of other things came back with me but as I said, nothing really appealed or was the right price.
I need to go out for a short walk now to keep my hip mobile. That said, the sofa is already beckoning . . .
