Having been away from home for the past week, I took the chance to take a few pictures with the Infrared camera – I didn\’t snap as much as I thought, because we were so busy doing other things – like playing on the beach, going to the circus, carbooting, geocaching and spending all my money in the amusements, that photography took a bit of a back seat! I did manage to get a couple of pictures though.

Hopefully, there will be more to come now that we are home and I can dedicate a bit more time doing just \’one\’ thing – although this won\’t actually be the case because there\’s always more than one thing to do!

It’s where people load up their cars with unwanted stuff, drive to a field (or other venue) set up a stall and try and sell it, a bit like a large scale yard sale with multiple people selling things.
It must be a British thing?
Ill see if I can find some pictures and share them/write a post about it!

Thank you for explaining….

A bit like multiple yard sales all happening in the same place.
They’re a lot of fun and you can pick up some bargains! (Unsurprisingly, I brought a pile of books.)

Hope you found some fun books.
