So much for regular updates...

all good plans required at least one essential element to be successful - implementation!

I'll give this another go and see if I can get a bit more regular (as it were...)

After helping pack up I head off. Ron and Carol & Mick and Tom and I catch up for a meal at a pub on the way back to the M4.

Nice food and good company. It's a releatively quick meal as R&C are back up to Wolverhampton and M&T are onto London(ish - near Heathrow) - I, on the other hand, just go back to my hotel for another (hopefully) quiet evening and good sleep in.

Trade has been steady but mainly small price stuff. We've all had time to wander around the other stalls - I've also managed to find some more books and bought a couple of CDs from Stepping Stones.

Although I've spent all morning on my feet, when I end up having a break I end up walking to Tescos (half a mile a way) to get some lunch - Richard had quite kindly done that same walk earlier in the day to get some food all of us but unfortunately the choices weren't to my taste - little was I to know that the reason was lack of choice at the source...

There a few of the guys here early (Mick and Tom from Stepping Stones and Ron and Carol from Genealogy Printers and a few more) - the doors have just been opened and surprisingly the tables have already been laid out - normally this is done after Alex (Quartermain) and troupe arrive.

Michael arrives with Richard (Moore) so we start getting the van unpacked and the tables laid out.

Disaster strikes when we find that the sports centre doesn't have a food preparation license (or something), so there's no bacon sarnies or any food or anything... bummer

Nothing but McDonalds so I'll just grab a bagel and coffee and head up to the sports centre - hopefully there'll be some bacon rolls...
