"We've been really busy, we've had loads of people round," she said. "We've sold old costume jewellery, books, clothes, tools, children's stuff - we've had all sorts out."

Dealers descended on the village before the appointed opening time.

"You can spot them at 50 paces," one villager said. "They unerringly go for the best thing you've got and offer you chicken feed for it."
