collecting junk in the sun

I can scarcely describe how lovely it was this weekend to walk around Brighton in the sun; after weeks of rain and a depressing absence of summer, at last we have blue skies and a warm breeze. Hurrah. Of course, everything looks wonderful in the sun, so a walk through the lanes and the farmers' market proved ludicrously expensive, as books, beers, food and fanciful objects were swiftly and ill-advisedly acquired. By the time I'd reached the market on Upper Gardner Street, thankfully, I was spent up - so the following toys escaped my sun-stroke afflicted impulse purchasing. Definitely a good thing.
