Plastic Fantastic

I liked the look of this old mixed lot I clocked on a lapsed auction.

So much day-glow plastic worthy of a seaside kiosk! 

What can you see? What would you have picked as a kid?

Tuesday in the Big Apple

How nice to see the coast in yesterday's post.

I'm doing Jury Duty this month and today had to pass through the Trump Circus to get in and out of the courthouse next to the one Trump was in.

Picture 7127 shows a courthouse with columns in front. That's 60 Center Street the New York State Courthouse that features in the TV series Law and Order.

If you think it's worth blogging as a contrast to your blissful fish n' chip filled time, then edit the pix down.

Press and Police far outnumbered protesters. The downside was the shop in the court building was closed so no coffee on premises.

Enjoy your break!

Angling for Art

I've got all arty with my seaside photos here in the Yorkshire Wolds. Going for a painted sort of look I give you ....

Lady Swimmers

Sea Anglers

We're off to Bridlington today so more sand, a horror novel read in a cafe and hopefully charity shops stuffed with old Dinky's!

What are you up to readers?

GORGO A GO GO!

I adore this gloss green Gorgo.

Their Veloflech Espacial is the best ride in the galaxy.

I love the box art too.

Have you got a Gorgo?

Sandy Shore

Me and Missus Moonbase are currently taking in the sea air of the Yorkshire East Riding coastline. Seagulls, sand, doughnuts and fish 'n' hips. 

Here are a few snaps from the seaside town of Hornsea, where we went pebble combing.

Reminded me completely of being a kid going to the Lancashire coast when I was a nipper. Comics, toys, Sandcastles and candyfloss back then!

Where did you go as a kid readers?

WHO WAS RICHARD PETTY?

As I like rack toys, this Ja Ru one from 1984 on auction caught my eye. I've never heard of Richard Petty. Who was he?
