I went to the local aution last week. With my partner with no intention of buying anything. Mind you it was pay day. I found some gardening equitment and it was to good to miss. It also was the last lot to be bid on and I had to stand in the cold weather freezing to death waiting for it to come up. My hands feet nose were dumb which made me even more determined to have it. When I finally came to my lot there was a few people bidding and my hand was up and down bidding for all I was worth My Partner found this very funny. Any way this is what I brought home
A light weight spade what I call a ladys spade. A light weight fork. A few small garden tools and a brand new pair of secatears And not only that This was with the lot as well
A brand new bird feeding station still in the box It is the same as my other one which I paid £28 for I then noticed the plant stall (pay day as well) and I brought these
very large palm for £10 and 3 purple cordalines for £4 (their was 3 but Hollygate (mum) came round this morning and now there is 2. The plant man sells plants a lot cheeper than the gaden centers The aution is at Acle village not far from Yarmouth every Thursday morning It well worth a vist. I loaded all these things into my very small car and we could not close the boot as I had so much stuff .I dont think my partner will be in a hurry to take me back again LOL
