Lincoln Toyfair

Woke up on Sunday the 25th to a miserable morning, even Aled Jones couldn't quite lift the gloom, that's Radio 2 for you young uns. Driving the short distance to Lincoln through grey clouds and heavy drizzle didn't bode well for the Lincoln Toyfair as organised by JJ Webb.

It's not been the same since the showground folks decided to redevelop the site and we lost the side room we used to be in. But despite this we did ok managing to sell a mixture of items. Though the money that we got in, not exactly a fortune, was soon redistributed between our fellow traders. Sounds a bit like good old Robin Hood, though we didn't quite have the Lincoln Green tights on!!

So in glorious sunshine, which we missed the most of, we returned to our humble abode amidst the green wood of Lincolnshire with not so much more money but loads of Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica ready for our next two fairs, the Stars in our Time at Weston Super Mare on Saturday May 1st and May The Third Be With You at Burnley FC on May 3 surprisingly enough. Not quite the ring to it as May The Fourth Be With You, but as you can guess it is a Star Wars event, let's hope as good as last years and that Burnley's relegation doesn't put a dampner on it.
