Antique Fair - Cheshire Show Ground

Short drive over to Pikemere to the Antique fair in a big field. We got there too early so had to wander around pikemere for 30 minutes unti 10am when the price of admission was more reasonable. Looked for the lake but couldn't find it. The sun came out and it became quite warm. 200 stalls to look round. We found a few bargains incluing a nice tin monet box from the Festival of Britain 1951. A bit worn but has a certain charm - the image of the Shot Tower on one side and the Skylon and Dome of Discovery on the other - a dial to show how much was inside - a little door at the botoom that is supposed to pop open when 30 pennies are accumulated. Hazel found a tiny pen knife gadget, some joke eye balls, some goofy teeth and some jars and bottles. We had chips for lunch from a van - very nice chips too - rustling like Autumn leaves.
