After a disappointing weekend last week with the double-header at Norwich and Doncaster not quite going according to plan, it was good to be back to winning ways at one of our favourites, Spalding Toyfair.Perhaps we should actually thank Captain James Tiberius Kirk and his comrades as the Trekkies...

The 25th saw us back at the Lincoln showground at last, after the previous fair there was cancelled. Now that we are in the main hall after the demolition of the side rooms it all seems so cramped and hectic.We now know why we preferred the side rooms!...

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...

The weekend of the 3rd and 4th saw Time Was... at the Old Glory World Wargames event held at Derby University. Just a hop down the Brian Clough Way between Nottingham and Derby.It was a very successful two-day event...

Yesterday, 20th, saw Time Was... venture into the darkest depths of Northamptonshire to the town of Kettering. Though the journey down, once we had turned off the A1 and onto the A43, was quite picturesque. Passing through villages with thatched covered cottages and gardens ablaze with colour...

It was a bit like the Marie Celeste today as there seemed to be quite a few traders who have jumped ship. Spalding toyfair was a bit low on traders, big aisles, plenty of empty tables with names on them. So many of them had booked but hadn't turned up...

Another Sunday, another Toyfair. This time it was back to the Cresset Centre in Peterborough for what is usually a fair fair. Unfortunately today, for some reason quite a few traders were missing, many of whom are regulars and also more importantly quite a lot of buyers...

After a little break touring around West Wales and the Gower it was back to reality with the Huntingdon Toyfair at Wood Green Animal Shelter. On this particular Sunday for Time Was... I can say Toyfair would be an over-statement since we only sold one toy, and PJ Gifts managed just a couple...

Just arrived at Time Was... the new Hot Wheels die-cast models of;USS Enterprise NCC-1701 RefitUSS Reliant NCC-1864USS Enterprise NCC-1701-DKlingon Bird Of PreyEven James Tiberius Kirk wants one!!

The third Dalek Invasion at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton, took place last weekend, 8th & 9th. A two-day event due to the problems last year with folks being unable to get in and the Police having to turn them away, before they got sight of the museum...

The tulips may not have been out and about in Spalding but something strange was in the air! A very good turnout of Fairy and Fantasy collectors, though not so many toy collectors!!...

Logan has arrived - be quick get to www.timewasshop.co.uk or Time Was... at the Buttermarket in Newark.

Today the 26th July saw Time Was... back at one of favourite and friendliest fairs at Doncaster Racecourse, hosted by Mike Bishop of Toyman Displays and of course MBToyfairs. It was a very good day as well...
