A festive Tradgardland
Christmas approaches in the Duchy of Tradgardland. Naval officers hurry across the square
to feast and drink this cold ,starlit evening.
A young chap waves farewell to the guard as they return to barracks and a hot meal. So ends another day.
Two lovely and festive scenes. I don't know why, but I always thought of Tragardland as being landlocked, somehow. Rather surprised that the Duchy has a navy. Good feasting and drinking to us all.
Gentlemen, if you stand looking at the neck which joins Denmark to Europe the Duchy of Tradgardland is on the left where the neck meets the shoulder so to speak. Don't forget that in the 18th century Tradgardland sailed a fleet across the sea and participated in the Jacobite rebellions. Much of it's fleet then was gallies.
Card background? Looks good!
ReplyDeleteNice tree in your other post, too.
Wishing you and yours a festive holiday season!
It's an old Advent calendar I kept from years ago for such a purpose. Festive greetings to you too.
DeleteVery atmospheric! , Tony
ReplyDeleteThe figures and their backdrop all look the part. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Lovely little scene. Perhaps the Tradgardland Navy operates on a lake? All the best for the Season.

Of course. I was obviously not paying attention during my European History lectures.
