Scissor sister

 The young woman in the local craft shop was very helpful pointing me to just the right tool to buy. She also showed me where to get white felt. At the checkout she asked me what I was making and I told her about the bases and that I was a wargamer. She listened in  an interested manner . Her colleague said that they get wargamers in all the time, had heard of the hobby and was enthusiastic about what was perceived as another craft. I will certainly be back. Next visit will be to buy a Wargames Mat in the shape of a six by four piece white felt. Morale of the story support your local craft shop, they’re our friends.

In other news I succumbed to a Christmas jumper ( for use at school, warm space project etc) in a sale for the first time ever. The writing says “ Mince Spies” a pun that I could not resist!
