I go to the one at Cheltenham race course now and again. I have the exact same war poster framed and on our kitchen wall-how bizarre!

Seriously what lovely finds and the vintage plates are beautiful. I've got a grubby picnic basket and its amazing what a difference a nail brush, some hot water and a teeny splosh of fairy liquid can do!<BR/>Just love you kids in the bath - what fun and aren't you sweet sending them off with heart choccies. I might pop into the village shop for something for my boys too. <BR/>Stephx - brilliant poster and an excellent mantra I say! <BR/>P.S The container ship is amazing. if you see it when the tide is out its absolutely unreal.
