Boot Sales Comments

Boot sales, garage sales, jumble sales - all opportunities for the exchange of 'stuff'. My favorite is the once or twice a year hard rubbish collection we have in Melbourne, where people leave their junk out on the nature strip for collection. It's amazing how much junk is collected by people other than the council! I recall my dear father would go to the municipal tip with a carload of rubbish and return with a carload of new rubbish. Mum used to get so cross. Father's usual answer was 'it might come in handy'. He he he. Your poems always make the reader think. love, Allie xxxx
