I was sent these pics by a reader but alas I've lost the email, so I can't say who from!
Thanks anyway, what a marvellously monstrous store! I wonder if you bought anything?
Is this your kind of shop readers?

I picked up these pirates in Bungay.
They're by cake topper kings Culpitt. I always look for languishing astronauts in their stand but never find any.
Why? LP spacemen were often re-packaged by Culpitt back in the Seventies and Eighties and similar outfits too across the world and sold as cake decorations. They even feature in Culpitt's old cake decorating books.
Have you any Culpitt figures or old cake decorations? Pictures welcomed!
An old chestnut on Moonbase, you can check out posts and entries using the labels below.
If I had the space I might collect vintage record players and music centres.
I was sorely tempted to get one of these second hand ones costing on average 15 Euros.
There was also this much more expensive Braun.
Would you buy one?
I like this Blue Box space station. Not quite sure how big it is or whether it would suit Star Wars figures or SpaceX astronauts?
Anyways, never stationary, Blue Box recycled the idea for their Deep Sea Discovery set, which I saw boxed online too.
I've often toyed with collecting PEZ. There's something mightily attractive about these candy containers.
Here's a small group that's gathered at Moonbase. Needless to say my favourite is Batman. You will notice he's no 'feet' on the base. I've had to do that as it was split and sharp. An original footless PEX would be something to cheer about!
Have you any PEZ readers?
We are currently beginning day one of our second go at sorting out our late Father in Laws flat on the Continent. A very sad necessity.
We are not here long enough to eBay stuff, so the selling - sorting routes will include local FB Marketplace, car boots, charity shops and specific dealers.
It's so sad to be faced with someone's possessions and collections like this. Persian rugs, Brasses, huge copper kettles, grandfather clock, oils, furniture, vitrines, old glasses, coffee services, bric a brac and a record player.
My wife's Dad was a magpie and it's a bit like a dusty cobwebbed museum.
We haven't even touched the cellar yet. There's white goods, a thousand tools, a fox scarf, hundreds of coats, religious ornaments and a fondue set.
Have you had to empty a relatives home readers?
