Car boot sales: Just about everything

  • Name of Shop: Car boot sales

    Car boot sales abound around Banbury. The idea of such a sale is simple: if your house gets cramped with all the things that you inadvertently bought but never use, put them all in your car boot and get rid of them at the sale. If your children have outgrown their clothes or are too old to play with their old toys, let other children enjoy them. If you get bored with a hobby and want to take up a new one, sell your collection to someone who will appreciate it. You can get just about everything there: things for you and for your home, gifts and collectables, books and CDs, all second-hand and therefore cheaper but mostly in good condition. It's a way of saving money as long of course as you don't buy things that you don't really need just because the prices are so low. Some people go to these sales regularly, every Saturday. And even if you don't want to buy anything, you can just browse, if only to discover what strange things were hidden in people's attics. Enjoy it.

     Car Boot Sales, Half-timbered English houses, narrow canal boats, English Pubs - I would certainly enjoy myself here in Banbury.

     I love your intro photo! The Historic Boatyard must be very interesting! I had never seen a 300years old Wisteria! "If your children have outgrown you...", I thought you were going to write that you can have them on sale at the car boot sale, haha!

     What a picturesque little village! I don't recall that we drove through during my Cotswolds day, but next time maybe. Sitting at the canal sounds perfect and admiring these houses as well. And ghosts... :-)
