Go West etc

 This week has seen me battling a leg infection as well more interesting things happening-

Sunday saw me in Edinburgh and appreciating this beautiful Nativity Scene.
A parcel arrived and it came with this card which was a hit with the family, not to mention a fascinating book.
My new art history course began in the West. A lovely sunny Glasgow. This term I am looking at 17th Century Dutch art.
Fascinating graffiti in the Kelvingrove area.
The Smith gun arrived on Wednesday , earlier than expected.
It is a lovely model but l struggled to put it together lacking the dexterity initially as well as covering my fingers in superglue. What a faff but got there eventually!
The completed model and crew( full of character) undercoated ready for painting…

  1. Sorry you've been unwell. I enjoyed the video of the Smith gun. The card is fun but can we have another photo or two of the book?
    I was surprised to see a manger scene still out on display.

    1. The video of the Smith gun was fun wasn’t it. Book photos anon. Trees and crib were up until end of Christmastide.

  3. Not related to the current post, but a thank you for bringing to my attention the exhibition on Patton at Dunfermline Museum. Went through from Glasgow yesterday, absolutely loved it, embarrassed to say my first trip to the town but definitely not the last!
