I'm keeping everything crossed that I'll be able to get to this jumble sale this afternoon, and that it will be good. I've been to some fab-u-lous scout jumbles in the past, one notable one in Nottingham involved queueing for an hour in sub-zero temperatures and it still turned out to be one of the best jumble sales I'd ever been to, Then there are the scout jumble sales held twice a year near where my Mum lives (blogged about here and here) which are just out-of-this-world wonderful.
Sadly, I have also been to some totally rubbish scout jumble sales over the years too - dark, dank and smelly scout huts with a few rickety pasting tables, the surfaces of which are barely covered with items which, in the main, are also dark, dank and smelly.
Anyhoo, Shenfield is a rather nice middle-class area so I've got high hopes - only slight problem is I think I've managed to pass my lurgy on to my chauffeur (that'll be P, then) who went off to bed last night looking distinctly micky. Not sure how he's feeling this morning but if he's not up to the drive then we won't be going.
