I reckoned Team GB could do with a bit of added support so I dressed in our national colours when we popped into town earlier. It must have paid off, we've won two gold medals so far.
Instead of concentrating on the mission in hand, which was finding my brother a birthday present and topping up on festival supplies for the weekend, I couldn't help but get distracted by the weekly flea market and man, did I score.
I 'd left home wearing a tee-shirt but by the time we'd walked the mile into town I was so hot I had to snaffle this spotty top from a mate's house clearance stall and popped it on in the public loo. I was pleased to discover it was by Coppernob, a trendy fashion label back in the early 1980s and as a hard-up teenager one that I could never afford.
I nearly had heart failure when I spotted this North African tooled leather bag on Vintage Laura's dad's stall because to a travel whore like me nothing makes my heart race faster than the sight of vintage luggage.
I feel the need to dig out the photos from our trip to Morocco in 1992 and reminisce about trekking through the Atlas Mountains, hanging out at the Hotel Continental in Tangier, eating vegetable tagine in Djemaa El-Fna and riding overnight on the Marrakesh Express, dammit I might have to go back and take my bag with me .

See you soon!
