Last wedding of the year

Thought I would share a very rare glimpse of behind the scenes at todays bridal prep. My last wedding dream of this year

I had a spot of luck today. I managed to get a rare original NASA photograph from the Apollo 15 mission to the Moon, showing an astronaut fishing in the back of his moon buggy for his camera and lens. There was an auction at London Auctioneers Bloomsbury and there were some images that were simply breathtaking. All original NASA pictures from a private collection. Some I had my eye on went for ridiculous sums of money (5 figures) but fortunately noone was too bothered about this one and I managed to get it for the lower end of the value range placed on it. It isnt a particularly important piece historically, and though quite expensive for a single picture I guess, it isnt particularly valuable (relative to the worth of many of the other lots), it is really interesting - well it is to me anyway - and I intend putting it on public display for a short while once I have tied up the paperwork and actually have it in my hands.
