I got free bus travel @ sixty and bought a seniors rail card to travel more…<br />Sixty ain’t so bad honestly, as one who has been there.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-23741368014021692342022-01-01T08:59:28.856+00:002022-01-01T08:59:28.856+00:00I immersed them in boiling water.

I feel the same about birthdays to be honest - I will be sixty in August this year and see no reason for celebration - I dont really want to be sixty, thanks all the same! Despite all this grumpiness, I hope you have a great 2022 and enjoy all your collecting, painting and gaming experiences!rrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316317334203888350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-17416495121292861622021-12-31T22:25:51.959+00:002021-12-31T22:25:51.959+00:00I see you changed arm positions on the SF figures....I see you changed arm positions on the SF figures.

As for ...Ooh! Those colonial militiamen look good.<br /><br />As for New Years Eve, it’s something that I enjoyed when younger. We didn’t do first footing as such but we would always let the Old Year out if the back door and run round to the front to let the New Year in. Then my mum would stand outside chatting to the neighbours whilst the ships in Grimsby Docks would blast their horns. I still let the old out and the new in, and think I’ve passed that particular habit into my southern born son, who’s now up north.nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-5032124477167712842021-12-31T17:56:01.343+00:002021-12-31T17:56:01.343+00:00Really do agree about New Year.

It has always seemed crazy to me to start the New Year right in the depths of winter; used to hate going back to school in January after the Xmas holiday, cold, wet or snowy, and utterly bleak! We should start the New Year at the end of March as used to be the case, with spring in the offing. :-) Anyway, hope you have a good 2022 and that it is better for all of us than the somewhat challenging last few years...<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />David.David Morfitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016926084467625584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-83198192177878945902021-12-31T17:49:01.587+00:002021-12-31T17:49:01.587+00:00I'm another one who isn't a fan of Hogmana...I'm another one who isn't a fan of Hogmanay, even though as a Scot I'm meant to love it.
