Car booter


The car boot sale at Hook Road Arena was up and running at 1015 this morning, with slightly more cars appearing to be leaving than arriving. What can be seen here is the car park, with the car boot sale proper, off snap, around to the right. It would have been interesting to go and see how social distancing was panning out, but I couldn't muster the energy. Plus no change and no bicycle lock. Plus we have quite enough junk already.

Behind the telephone, in the hedge by the entrance, almost enough ripe blackberries to be worth picking, despite it being a roughly north facing hedge at that point. But no tub to put them in. However, if reference 1 is anything to go by, it must be time to start. Maybe in the hedges around the junctions of Christchurch Road and Horton Lane? Maybe I should take to carrying a tub just in case I am moved to make a start?

Earlier on the run, Café 1 in Epsom was open, a place we use occasionally, Wetherspoon's was open, another place we use occasionally, and the veggie market, looking quite extensive, was cranking up. Roads quiet, including, for once, Ewell by-pass. Not many cyclists about. Maybe most of them were fair weather types, put off by the possibility of rain.
