It was the last Malvern Fleamarket for 2022 yesterday. Keith was champing at the bit to go, now that we had the Mob. Scooter. My good friend Pam came along for moral support - first scooter outing in all that.
What a wonderful time to arrive - look at the ethereal mists.
No filters used - just natural light. Breathtaking.
We had a very long day - arriving around 10 to 8, and not leaving until 1.30 and Keith was still protesting we hadn't been up some of the outside rows. Indeed we hadn't but by that time I was tired from pulling the trolley round and he as being SO thorough - it had been over a year since his last Fair, so it was understandable that he didn't want to miss anything. I loved this little pair of horses but at £120, they were way over what I would want to pay.
A little single pony on wheels, with some sort of skin crudely sewn on. £80. Too expensive for moi.
Continuing on the horsey theme . . .
I will own up to purchasing one of these Ukrainian/Hungarian saddles - about 150 years old.
The same stand had some lovely pieces (above and below). So all in all, a lovely day out, but very very tiring. Matters weren't helped by sleeping so badly the night before - e.g. scarcely at all. You know what it's like - the moment you set an alarm, your brain seems to go on Major Alert and stops you going to sleep in case you sleep through the alarm! "Tea" last night was a bacon roll apiece!
Keith coped well but was very stiff from all the sitting - travelling there and back and hours on the scooter. We know what we are doing with it now though and it fits the bill perfectly. A shame we didn't go through the funding hoops for nothing and just got one earlier as we were trying to do.
