Today's Arch outdoor boot sale gave up a small clutch of old toys.
See what you think.
Some Autumnal snaps of the local country pile we visited today in Brodsworth. Some spooky takes for the dark season too.
Brrrr.

I'm getting through my box of scrappers at a right rate.
Here's a few more that needed some TLC, some more than others.
What do you think?
The orange Rolamatic got a total repaint, in orange!
I'm all nostalgic about old Disney films at the mo. So far I've watched The Sword in the Stone from 1963 and Robin Hood from a decade later, both really really great. I laughed out loud!
I adore that early Disney style. Do you?
It's what I remember as a kid. Beautiful washes of colour with cute comical characters and gorgeous music. What's not to like? I bet there's tons of collectables, more than anyone person can collect!
Alas, a complete creature of the Sixties, I can't abide modern Disney films. The old style canned in favour of, what is it, an anime look?
Ah well, I am officially a Disney fossil. My granddaughter LOVES Frozen above all other things anywhere! Let it go Grandad!
Interestingly I read that Robin Hood was criticised for recycling some scenes from earlier films. I definitely recognised the Jungle Book King Louie dance in there! Ha ha.
Have a look if you've time.

As regular as the demon in Jeepers Creepers, every six or seven years my latest laptop packs up.
It's happened again.
There's always a final scrabble to retrieve stuff somehow, which usually means forking out at the local PC repairs shop. This time it's my second JR21 toys draft book that's on there, so it'll be worth it to persevere with one last go, even if I have to shell out. Don't forget, I'm an adopted Yorkshireman!
As for blogging, I'm doing it on my mobile phone. It's much harder to edit long posts with lots of photos, so I apologize if you've sent me anything like this in the past couple of months readers; it'll just take me longer with one finger!
At some point this year I'll get a reconditioned laptop and get back fully on board.
Where's HAL when you need it!
I've always liked this NASA MOLAB design. This postcard was on auction so I saved the pic. Here it is trundling through the barren wastes of the Northern Arizona desert way back when.
A Friday mooch round Selby didn't bag much other than a fine sausage butty. The missus did get a lovely parka.
Here's what I got. This 1994 Unimax set looks like the USS Enterprise and a UFO Interceptor!
Here's what a passed on. Anything you like?
