A Sunday at Ashley Heath Car Boot Sale Dorset : A Tale of Treasure and Treats
Good morning, fellow treasure hunters!
Yesterday was another bright and early Sunday as I set off for the beloved Ashley Heath Car Boot Sale. The anticipation was high, as it always is with car boot sales—the possibility of uncovering hidden gems among the stalls is a thrill that never gets old.
Arriving just as the sun began to peek over the horizon, the scene was bustling with vendors setting up their tables, each laden with an array of items. From vintage trinkets to quirky collectibles, Ashley Heath Car Boot Sale never disappoints in offering a diverse array of potential finds.
As I strolled through the maze of stalls, the usual excitement was in the air. I had my eyes peeled for that elusive treasure that would make the early start worthwhile. But as the morning wore on, it became clear that this might not be our luckiest hunt. The usual suspects—antique furniture, rare vinyl records, and unique decor pieces—were either nowhere to be found or already snatched up by other eager shoppers.
However, the day wasn’t without its rewards. Among the various stalls, a pair of Adidas Niza sneakers caught my eye. A perfect find for Mrs. F, who had been eyeing a pair for a while now. Score one for the home team!
And then, of course, there was the highlight of any car boot sale visit: the food. I made a beeline for the food truck serving bacon rolls. The smell alone was enough to make anyone's mouth water, and the taste did not disappoint. Crispy bacon nestled in a soft roll, it was the perfect treat to lift our spirits after a somewhat lacklustre hunt.
As I packed up and headed home, the lesson of the day was clear: some days you win, some days you lose. While the treasure trove may have been sparse this time around, the joy of the hunt and the little victories, like the Adidas Niza and the delectable bacon roll, made it all worthwhile.
Until next time, happy hunting!
