Lincoln Toyfair

The 25th saw us back at the Lincoln showground at last, after the previous fair there was cancelled. Now that we are in the main hall after the demolition of the side rooms it all seems so cramped and hectic.

We now know why we preferred the side rooms!! Still even though the customers struggled to get by one another we did have a reasonable day. Even managed to pick up some bargains along the way.

Between Time Was... and PJ Gifts the tables had a distinct halloween theme with regards to the fairies and fantasy figures that were on show, even some Hammer House Horror cufflinks that PJ Gifts displayed. There was an abundance of witches, vampires, skulls, gothic figures and fairies.

Pity then after all the effort to set the theme that it was the toys that had the most success. You couldn't guess what lengths we went to to get some pot halloween pumpkins!!! Still we have them for next year. Well you can't win them all.

Next Sunday it's a double-header, somehow Time Was... is splitting in two, with a toyfair at Doncaster, one of our favourites, and then there is the return of the Star Wars Day in Norwich. Should be a gud'un.
