A Boot Sale Bonanza

Today SWMBO and I went to our local 'lazybones' boot sale - so called as it opens at 10:30am which is far more civilised than the usual dawn kick off - and I had a wonderful time! First up, and inspired by Bob Cordery whose collection of foreign buildings acquired from his various travels is enormous!, was a lovely set of ceramic Greek style buildings which are absolutely ideal for my 15mm Balkan wars set up and originate from, ironically, Corfu - which is where I am heading in a couple of weeks. I plan to acquire some more of these whilst I am away under the general heading of 'souveniers'. These five buildings cost me the princely sum of £1.

Next up was a little more expensive at £10 for the six - the sixe being a selection of hardback titles from the Osprey Battles of WW2 series. These are basically hardback versions of Osprey campaign series titles. I already own 6 of these and so adding a further six was a welcome addition. the titles are 5. Libya 1940, 6 Tobruk 1941, 7 Iraq 1941, 8 Crete 1941, 14 Gazala 1942 and 17 El Alamein 1942. Considering that an Osprey campaign title goes for around £15 a volume acquiring these six for £10 was an absolute bargain.

Finally, I managed to acquire a sealed copy of the two disc special edition of the classic sci-fi film Alien for a £1. All in all then, It was a pretty good days bargain hunting.

P.S. Sorry Bob, no sign of anything even remotely Britains looking!
