Not bad, seemed a bit quieter than last year probably due to the weather. But the rain held off (other than a very light shower at the end) with some nice warm sunny spells.

I sold just enough stuff to cover the petrol costs and stall fee, so I'm not complaining!

Nice McMichael Museum display, as usual.

I also thought it was not so busy as previous years. I sold a few items, and bought some bits and pieces. I saw someone walking off with a Mc Michael schools radio, a model I had not seen before.
There was an ex Rediffusion Ford Escort Estate in the car park, the owner had worked at Rediffusion Harrow.

A pleasant day out.

It was quieter than last year, but just as pleasant, wind carried off a gazzebo towards the end. Sold almost everything I took over, an bought some more too, so on average no change.

Glad we went, was well worth the effort, big thanks to all the people who made it possibe.
