Just got home after an enjoyable visit to the NCVF...
Usually I arrive late and stay to the bitter end - and have got some nice bargains that way in the past - but this time I shifted the day forward a couple of hours. I wasn't tempted by anything this year, but it's always fun to rummage, and to see what my collection might possibly be worth! Apart from a couple of books from the B&B stall, the only items I came home with were pre-arranged collections. But obviously the wife was happy with that
I've been going since 2010, and back in those days I came away with boot-loads of sets (mostly Hacker, of course!). But gradually the day has changed from being about the sets to being about the people, and each year is more sociable than the last. I lost count of the number of folk I caught up with today, but it was great seeing you all
Yorkie has the group photo - although a number of you managed to escape it! His journey is slightly (!) longer than mine, but we'll no-doubt see the results later (good luck with the Photoshopping)
All the best,
Mark
