Sunday the 11th saw Time Was... at one of our favourite haunts, the Wood Green Animal Shelter at Huntingdon for a JJ Webb Toyfair. This time we were on our own, since PJ Gifts were strutting their stuff at Arnold Hill School Craft Fair. It was a good job as we seemed to be more tightly packed in behind the tables than usual. But on the down-side we couldn't go and have our usual wander around the Shelter. Didn't stop the wandering within the hall though.
Despite this we started off well and the Fairies seemed to wing their way out of the hall quickly, but then Technology let us down. The Credit Card machine decided it couldn't find that satellite up in the sky and our biggest sale of the day was in jeopardy. Many attempts were made to find that satellite, even going outside didn't help. Maybe climbing to the top of the wind turbine would have got us closer to the staelitte. But then someone had a master stroke, why not do the processing later at home. So details were taken and phone numbers exchanged. But ooops the phone number was wrong, then Sherlock came to the rescue and noticed one too many 7's. It was a close run thing technology had conspired against us but after a quick phone call it all turned out ok in the end.
Just as well since unfortunately it looked like there were less folks about and even less willing to part with their hard earned cash. At the end of the day we had broken even, which was nice and came as a pleasant surprise.
Let's hope the run up to Christmas is better.
