Yesterday's La Estrella car boot sale was a great day out for many. Stalls were being set up by 9am and were in full swing an hour later, though most visitors turned up at about noon. Fortunately, a nice breeze held out all day (or we would have frizzled). A couple of unfortunate circumstances (mentioned elsewhere) did prevent some from attending, including seven stall holders that had booked previously but failed to show. Nevertheless, over €300 was collected for Jimena's favourite charity - one comment about this: "We all know who we missed." (If you don't, ask around.) There were all sorts of things to buy or at least look at, from charming old fashioned dolls to hand made soaps, from crafts made of driftwood to lovely second hand clothes. (Prospero note: I came away with more stuff than I sold! Including a bed for a well-deserved siesta!) And then, of course, there was the dog show, which went on well into the afternoon, when most stalls had packed up. La Estrella presented the Ward family with a plaque to thank Tanya, Dan and Mark for their initiative. (There is talk of holding a monthly La Estrella fund raiser flea market in the village starting later in the year - let us know what you think, please!)
