Unfortunately the largest table my group has access to is around 10', but I still harbour hopes that I'll be able to set up a proper area of my own once the last of the children move out. No doubt a few more years before that happens though.Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512576686142959856.post-681908895431845252022-05-28T13:44:28.513-07:002022-05-28T13:44:28.513-07:00That is a stunning collection of cavalry Lawrence....That is a stunning collection of cavalry Lawrence...around thirty figures per month is a pretty good output too, particularly given the quality of the paint work.

We all caught up for a the day after daughter number two's wedding at a micro-brewery two weeks ago and I remember thinking how nice the beer looked, but knew that would be Sunday afternoon written off even if I had just one.Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512576686142959856.post-21323463794885686732022-05-26T18:41:31.961-07:002022-05-26T18:41:31.961-07:00I would have though it never too early for a tippl...I would have though it never too early for a tipple in France! I recall on a training course in Toulouse a few years ago seeing small bottles of wine for sale in the cafeteria during the breaks. I was tempted for a glass of red over lunch, but figured I would be asleep soon after if I did and I really needed to understand the rather dry subject we were being taught.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512576686142959856.post-87959399419350702102022-05-26T12:41:40.065-07:002022-05-26T12:41:40.065-07:00It was probably a bit early in the day for a cogna...It was probably a bit early in the day for a cognac when I assembled them, but I did retire upstairs for a cup of coffee and some leftover sponge cake afterwards.Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512576686142959856.post-25808529002440828762022-05-26T12:40:02.636-07:002022-05-26T12:40:02.636-07:00Cheers Richard.
