Rare carboot find!

Linda and I generally visit the Harford Bridge carboot on a Sunday - it's a great place for cheap garden plants and out-of-date coffee! You may recall that, for fifteen years, I sold space memorabilia: I always keep an eye open as I walk round a carboot or antiques fair, more out of nostalgia than anything else.

My latest find is this vintage Russian souvenir of the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, the world's first artificial satellite. These sell online for £50 - £100: mine cost 50p!
