Scared off by the decades of debt the Olympics can leave behind by way of a legacy and news this morning that Britain's biggest selection of vintage tea pots is being put up for auction an assortment of 2000 was accumulated by an architect from Barrick Gold Philip Miller who died last year. Began the collection by buying an early 1900. In 1970 s. Most ironic thing she says is that he didn't actually like the. So what did he do with all those pots did he didn't. Right to have an 8 minutes to something you may have missed out on yesterday morning British astronaut Tim Peake was a how well science campus yesterday to meet local schoolchildren and talk about his Space Adventures Mitchell has a bit of a thing about major peak she was trying to get as close to him as possible with arrested and she did manage to speak to him and bombarded with questions like should we go back to the moon and now he's back on Earth what's he missing most about space I'm missing a lot of things about space space is a very addictive place to live and work is a fine test environment you're always working with different people and different experience different spare minutes every day is very challenging very rewarding and of course you get to look at the keepers you know the wonderful you know kind of. So they had that many great things about space that I'm missing. As we go with you guys going back again absolutely I think that's that's what we should be focusing on as our next destination is a stepping stone to future exploration of a Soviet system there are many many things we could learn from a permanent habitation on news in order to prepare prepare for a future Mars mission when you arrive at Heathrow is next to the British icons like that anything let me want you iconic now and there are young people here you're the inspiration. And well one of the things that we wanted to do you have a mission was to reach out to just to as many people just possible and share the mission with as many people as possible we haven't had even a u.k. Aspinall for over 20 years since Helen Sharman free to the myspace and so these missions don't come or 100 very often we have just worked very hard to try and reach out to kids to reach out to our youngest scientists and engineers and to inspire them to look to space as something that is exciting something where there are fantastic for is to be and I was just amazing everybody who's worked on mission think if you're with me I've been amazed at how successful we be made to peak and another lucky person who got to have a word with him was 3 and a half year old Ivo for. Preschool really found out what I wanted to know from the space where do you want to go next what did you say you want to get really he doesn't want to go to the moon and then he said I know you should go to the sun and he said maybe not but then I love this you all drawing age to go to the mosque mission was a ball of fire is the sun do you want to go to Mars I vote yes yes he does I've It was one of my favorite moments you know you must be very proud of it because we all say when she held or those birthday parties. When we had always been children. In front of television to watch and take off and on days come full circle it is extraordinary to go to actually not just excites an oyster but all of the primary school children here in the us from separate. Great story have an explorer. Well. It's. Rude. If you seen the pictures it was very dramatic and huge plumes of fire I was close until just before just before 7 o'clock lane one is still closed of though to clear all that debris from the fire will have small details for you a very short but northbound on the motorway there's been another accident bobbing along and the car was partially blocking the motorway between junction 4.
