Hmmm

 Hmmm, an interesting lead pile find at the weekend, tucked under a chest of drawers and forgotten about-

Has led to this-

A rummaging in the Ducal Library today. I wonder, hmmmm….

Garden

 I hadn’t got round to planting seeds at all, didn’t have the mojo. I thought that I might not bother with veg at all this year. However a wave of enthusiasm on Monday led me to the garden centre to buy some veg seedlings. 

I managed a trip to Tim Horton’s whilst waiting for the bus. I am most partial to their coffee of late.

Some may see it as cheating but it has got my enthusiasm back somewhat . After school volunteering yesterday l planted them out-

Using prunings for the Borlotti beans to climb up , a first for me.

Wee vulnerable plants, l have resorted to organic slug pellets to protect them.

Sweet Corn, always fancied giving it a wee go so l have this year. I still have others to plant but have made a start . I think that , riding on this wave, I will plant a few seeds later this week…

Also been wondering if the small alpine bed might see some gaming this summer…

Further gangs of Neu Minceheim

 Finished these two gangs this afternoon. First the Night Goblins. Crazed mushroom consuming fanatics who live in the under city beneath Minceheim. They affect bronze weapons and a ruthless contempt for them fellow citizens. The reasons for their random attacks is probably best neither discussed or imagined.

Secondly the Book Collectors, Minceheim is famed for its publishing houses, book and engraving sellers not to mention dealers in rare manuscripts. The book collectors are bibliophiles who have taken things to the next level in their quest for the unique and the exotic. They are led by a former scribe who has recruited two henchmen and a former mercenary turned book finder. All will stop at nothing to obtain written material for their exacting customers…

Gangs of Neu Minceheim ?

 Read my previous post for the background to this-

Just finished these gangs/ guilds-

                                                              The Guild of St Sebastian.

                                                                The Guild of Gunsmiths.

A halfling gang from the woods surrounding Minceheim. They are interested in archery and wealth distribution in equal measure.

Currently got another two gangs on the painting table which l hope to finish in the coming days. Looking forward to seeing how these gangs get on in some forthcoming solo games…

Coronation Day

                              A happy coronation day to you and yours however you are spending it.

Anyone recognise these?

 These metal figures came as part of a job lot ages ago, can anyone identify the make?

They sit on my painting desk shelf, I must find a project for them…

Photos

 I was at my course in Edinburgh ( week three, great lecturer, fellow students and the early career of Durer, who could ask for more) and took these photos-

Not Minceheim or Mordheim but Edinburgh just off the Canongate.

I have always liked this splendid museum sign for the Museum of Edinburgh 

Some purchases arrived yesterday by courier, just back in time thankfully…

Gifts for my daughters, perhaps to hold tea or even buttons in the years to come…

A couple of item for the household, yet another mug and a biscuit tin…
