UNDER 16 êêêê SHOES ON NOW: ‘I’LL GIVE YOU A POUND FOR IT’ When you are a kid you don’t have much economic power, do you? Maybe your parents give you some pocket money, but £2 or £3 will barely buy you a magazine nowadays. However, there’s one place in Lewes where you can feel rich, even without very much money - the car boot sale. It’s recently been upgraded to a rather fancier Vintage Market, but the old stalwarts are still there in attendance. So, one cold February Sunday morning, I take two of my boys down to the back of Waitrose to see what bargains are to be had. My middle child is a natural haggler. His technique is to offer a pound less than the asking price then to gradually increase his offer in ten pences until the stall holder either gets exhausted or until his younger brother gets impatient and starts begging, ‘Please, please, please.’ The sale gives the boys the opportunity to negotiate in a safe environment and to have a bit of fun doing it. We’ve often got into lengthy conversations with the stall holders and most of them have a tale or two to tell. And somehow, we feel as if we are supporting a more independent way of buying and selling. There’s an array of goods: from large plastic dinosaurs, to old Beano albums and even a giant exercise ball. Sure, there’s some tat but part of the fun is sorting through to find affordable treasure. Jacky Adams HIGH IN THE OLD OAK TREE BY ED BOXALL High in the Old Oak Tree tells the story of a little boy who climbs up an oak tree and never comes down. He climbs so high that he can’t see the ground, and the higher he gets, the stranger things get. He meets bears and wolves hiding amongst its leaves, and when he reaches the top he can touch the moon with a stick. The book was written as a poem by local author and illustrator Ed Boxall, who will be performing High in the Old Oak Tree, along with some other poems and music, at Skylark in the Needlemakers on the 10th of March. “It’s a very magical, kind of surreal poem,” says Ed, “quite in the tradition of Edward Lear – sort of nonsense, but quite melancholy and serious at the same time.” “It was inspired by something quite specific: over near Hastings there’s a Woodcraft Folk camp that I took my kids to every year, and there are these two enormous oak trees there. I made up a version of the story while I was camping there one summer, and over a couple of years, it slowly turned into the poem that appears in the book.” There will be two performances on the day: one at 11am and one at 2pm. These are aimed at children aged five and up. edboxall.com 69
