Tree etc

 I have been particularly taken by our Christmas tree this year. Bought already netted l was taken back initially by its wide nature. However once decorated l was entranced and have enjoyed it particularly in the darkness of early morning . I will miss its soft, pure light-

Yesterday saw us take down the decorations and carefully put them away.

They are full of memories from simple homemade ones made by the girls in their youth to ones from my Grandma’s tree in the 1930s. They tell a story of us that the next generation will take forward.

When l could over the festive season l have taken my 1470 Germans forward. Sitting quietly in the dark with only the hobby light on l have enjoyed seeing them come together. At times I sit in silence at other times l listen to podcasts. On Saturday l sensed the need to put the figures aside for a little breather and do something else briefly, a change being as good as a rest. So yesterday saw me working on Homeguard and Fallscrimjager. The figures are great but have quite a few annoying worm bits to deal with. Anyway l am pleased with the initial results.
