Helen,

As a fellow thirty one year old – I feel a little old when agreeing loudly – to my empty lounge (if you exclude the cats!) with the Farrow and Ball comment!

Hope all is good with you – have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

I remodeled my kitchen a while back, including the floor. It was such a mess! Not only that, but it’s tough making do without a kitchen for a while. Takeout every night gets old!

Thank you so much for this brilliant and insightful post. It’s really helped us as we are looking into moving to the area and you have given us information we would never have been able to find out otherwise. Hope you are happy in Somerset.

Hey we checked out the Flea recently (autumn “09) and it ghuddammed started raining ten minutes before opening time, nobody seemed to be selling large umbrellas either so we were aced out in one. Why don”t the organisers of these events fix a date when they KNOW it isn”t going to rain?. Our inestimable weather projectionists give their golden words ofmprophecy freely, and there isn”t much that”s free nowadays. I blame the organisers for the weather, they should have done more research.

Hi Rob. Hehe! I’d just like to point out a few things. “Stick to your car boots, which is where you obviously belong.” It’s been a while since I heard such a snobby remark. I’m not a serial car booter, but if I was, I wouldn’t be ashamed of it. I am a frequenter of reclamation yards, antique fairs, ebay and the occasional car boot sale (I don’t have any near me) while I kit out my new, old house. Between them I have learnt the value of things. Do you really think it acceptable to charge £15 for an old orange plastic tub? Or £70 for a second hand cooking pan? As I said, these ridiculous prices tended to be typical. However, I also said it was good for collector’s items if you knew their worth and if you’d read my other posts here, you’d also know that I admitted to buying from a very reasonably priced linen stall. I’m sure you have picked up up some bargains there, but I bet you had to trawl through a lot rubbish from those “‘fly by night’ weekend traders” to get them.
I also said I was there for “well over an hour”. My advice (with a ‘c’)is read people’s comments carefully before getting so worked up about them. I never realised that my opinion would be so controversial! Considering the number of people that have responded to defend the flea market, I doubt I have damaged its reputation. I fully assume that all flea markets have a lot of rubbish, but this one happens to be so big, so therefore it will have more! I expect they all have stall holders who wait for those daft enough and with money enough to pay over the odds for something old because they think it’s fashionable to buy ‘vintage.’

This is a reply to the lady who visited the Flea Market at Shepton and described it as “utterly shit” This Lady really needs to consider her words before making such unworthy comments. The Sue Ede Fairs are without doubt one of the best Fairs l have visited over the last few years. I’ve picked up many bargains, by simply looking beyond the ‘fly by night’ weekend Traders. How can she possibly gauge the feel of the event, by only staying for one hour? Really makes me angry that the reputation of a good standard Flea Market can be potentially damaged by such an ignorant and obvious ’serial car booter’. Take my advise and stick to your car boots, which is where you obviously belong.

Hi Helen

I’ve only just found your posts again, and see that you replied again to me in October. Thanks so much for buying the blue cloth, and for your lovely comments.

I still stand in the same spot, and if you decide to come in June (21st) do come and remind me of this correspondence!!

How nice that Liz (Red Fox) also commented. She and her husband are dealers at Dairy House Antiques (www.dairyhouseantiques.co.uk) and I had no idea Liz had added a comment.

I do hope you’ll come and say hello, either at the Giant Flea or at Dairy House sometime.

Best wishes
Sue
