Toys From The Shed
There's a Bank Holiday Weekend rapidly approaching, according to BBC News and apparently it's a fruitless task attempting to drive anywhere.
Well, that suits me fine, as the editing of Episode 25 needs our attention because we want to get it out (wahey!) by the end of the month.
As such, blog posts will be slightly down the list of priorites. We'll still do them, but there will be fewer words involved. Though, it's interesting that most days we get similar numbers, no matter what we put up!
So, today, here's more of a photo gallery of some of my old toy cars from the shed. They date from the mid 70s and every time I've moved house, they've accompanied me.
When we lived at Gillingham and were preparing to move to Poole, I did get a work colleague who knows about these things to go through them and see if there was anything rare that would be worth a bob or two.
Sadly, the boxes went ages ago and they are in very played-with condition, but there was the small chance that I might have the odd one with an unusual paint job or a strange sets of wheels or something.
We did do a video about some of the ones that might be of interest to archive TV fans, but it was done in wide shot with a fair bit of noise in the background, so detail was perhaps a bit lacking.
But the other day, I unearthed a few more and took some photos, which generated a mild flurry of interest, so I might as well gather them together today in case anyone missed them on Twitter ot Facebook.
We don't have much in the way of flat surfaces free these days, so yes, that is the toilet seat they're sitting on. Certainly, there's nowhere we can permanently display them, so they will go back in the shed shortly, but we can always dig out some more at a later date.
Anyway, back to the edit. See you all soon!
