We did actually buy some of the latter, because good-quality baby toys for 50p are real bargains. I also bought two pint glasses for 10p each.
I felt sorry for some people, who live some distance from the centre of the village. Few people would walk to visit their stalls, so they won't have received many visitors. Last time there was a sale trail, such people were invited to set up their stall outside the school, and there were half a dozen of them there. It felt a bit like a small car boot sale, though, and the point of the sale trail is that you get to wander around parts of the village you wouldn't normally visit.
There were some really interesting stalls among the ones whose owners were attempting to save themselves a trip to the tip. I'd have bought two board games from one of them if my wife hadn't been there to stop me.
I quite enjoyed it. It wouldn't have been so pleasant if the weather hadn't been fine, but it was, so it was.
Favourite item for sale: this book of James Bond themes piano music:
Those are long legs you have there, James.
