During the last few days we have had several sellers phone to ask ‘are we on the grass’ at Falmouth and if I say NO then they will not sell in the dusty car park conditions so up to seven of our valued local customers stayed away. This means that last week alone 70 people had to go home and completely wash all their unsold stock because the winds blew high dusts onto my customers stalls when we seriously SHOULD have been on the dead ball areas which in no way affects the pitch.
Today common sense prevailed and the happiness amongst our buyers and sellers was as good as the old days back in the early nineties when we used to occupy the entire grounds. There was a great atmosphere with lots of Falmouth’s young mums doing car boots who we remember as young school kids all lovely my lovers! Proper job!

Two week ago at Truro Cattle Market the sale had been moved from MABE due to rain. Shortly after the start of the sale I saw a large bronze Greyhound Dog which I reckon weighed about ten pounds, I asked how much it was and the lady said £30.00 which I said was a fair price and if it was there on her stall later I would make her an offer. I know nothing about Bronze at all and as I put it down a regular dealer picked it up and paid the asking price as he walked past me he said “Why didn’t you buy that it’s worth about £150.00 on eBay” Well there you go I thought you learn something new every day and I checked on eBay and he was right. see picture;

One last word on the grass our Rosie said to me “When was the last time you had it on the grass?” How rude how very rude! None of your business my lover!
