The first collection I made was in Ince Blundell near to my home town of Formby. The collection I made there was of children's toys. As this car boot sale was located in a fairly remote area in the 'country' the kind of things that people were selling were mainly bits of bric-a-brak, old bits of tat that they no longer wanted, many ornaments, children's toys and items of clothing.
I noticed that the price of the bric-a-brak was rather high, and so I had to do some serious bartering with some of the stall owners! It was quite a cheerful atmosphere nonetheless.
When I got the collection home I made information cards for each item. I did this with a slight sense of humour and so the cards take the mick somewhat. Here is a picture of the collection itself:
