Sussex ephemera.

Tuesday - a day to catch up with some relaxation.
I have described things for EBay.
Mostly these are items of ephemera relating to Sussex County Cricket Club that I have had stored away in the garage for  a long time. They are over 100 years old.
They all have people watching them and somebody has contacted wanting to buy immediately.

As you see a Grand Bazaar was held in 1904. Listed inside are the names of the good women attached to the cricket club who were organising stalls at the bazaar.
The photo on the front is of the Sussex team - with C B Fry seated on the left.
He was to be presented with something on the first day.....oh think of those fluttering hearts amongst those worthy stallholders. Will he smile at me?









I look forward to seeing what will happen to these treasures. I think they will all sell.
The item with the first bid, though, is much more recent and only acquired last Saturday at Ford.



Bill worked outdoors this morning. It was most unpleasant out there - such a grey day with some slight falls of damp powdery sleat.
Bill was putting up a replacemnt lamp outside the back door - one that comes on when it detects movement. He went and bought it yesterday afternoon in Dorking.
He was out again this afternoon for a blood test and to collect this month's medications.
