One of the best things about this time of year is that the car boot sales open up again. Last summer I enjoyed many a weekend browse around the stalls and regularly found some treasure. I put my art degree to use last year and managed to produce some stunning framed vintage prints which made their way onto ebay and into the homes of some happy customers.
Great Amwell is one of my favourites. It opened for the season three weeks ago so I made my way over to take a peek.

You never know what you are going to find at these places... Anyone for an elaborate carved wood palace?
A little teak...
As well as the one off sellers there often seems to be a few regular stalls including one of which sells fresh fruit and vegetables at a snip. It's a nice place to be on a sunny day...
