Essex Swiss hornblower with wine cork lead cloak and skis. The other figure is an old Citadel one I think from years ago.
No sunne yesterday or today (Sunday) and a drop of 10 degrees temperature since Friday! I'm too tired to do school reports and have had to leave them aside . Yesterday Petal the guinea pig suddenly took unwell and had to be taken to the vet. She was most helpful ,gave us medicine but offered not too positive a prognosis. We worked together to try and help Petal but she was in a sorry state last night. Over night she died and is now resting beneath an Acer tree in the garden. We have all grown very fond of her over the last ten months and poor Freya is devastated. A quiet day to recoup our energies is called for.
Tired ,after a bad night's sleep we all are having a quiet day. I got out the paints and tried to do a base for Basic Impetus with bicarbonate soda as snow. It depicts a 15th century group of scouts . I am reasonably pleased with the results...
P.S apologies for formatting just could'nt get it right today- well done for reading this far!

I fully understand and sympathize. I remember how badly I took the death of by daughter's dwarf rabbit: I *hate* to think how I'll feel if my little dog dies first / before me...
