It was a bit like the Marie Celeste today as there seemed to be quite a few traders who have jumped ship. Spalding toyfair was a bit low on traders, big aisles, plenty of empty tables with names on them. So many of them had booked but hadn't turned up. David and Stephen did their usual calm, well organised day. The cafe was busy and the aromas that drifted our way made us hungry, but that wasn't a problem as we had packed ourselves out well.
Our colleagues, well those who turned up, were all on good form. Peter had finally ended his two-year sale and with a new colour scheme had gone all gold. Wasn't sure if that was his tan or his stall!! Pity he still hasn't sold his Hogwarts Express, there must be a Harry Potter somewhere for him. Mike was usual jovial self, 'working' every minute as usual, though when I was there his wife seemed to be doing all the work whilst he played on a laptop, so no change there really.
Our regulars turned up and all had a good chat, some a wee bit longer than others, and they bought a few things.
Ohh and there were a few other customers but it was difficult persuading them to part with their money. Even the couple who only wanted to spend £10.00 even though everything they wanted was priced at more than twice that.
Still it passed a few minutes of the day.
