Eastington Yard Trail
What a fantastic day the first ever Eastington Yard Trail turned out to be! ( – and for those of you still wondering, it is simply a village-wide car-boot sale – held in driveways and front gardens – so that you can wander around the village picking up bargains as you go!). Ed.
