Haddon Hall

 A visit to the gem that is Haddon Hall, a great day out. The Hall has been on our Tudor castle list for a long time and finally we had the opportunity to visit on this trip.

Sherbourne church

 We visited Sherborne whilst we were in the UK to visit the antiques stores, the ville and the church for the effigies. 

A visit to Warwick castle

 This last two weeks we have been on holidays in the UK visiting cathedrals, castles and places of interest. 

Partizan Haul

 

This year I was a little reserved on purchases as I had a lot of pre purchases awaiting me. 

First up Gringo 40 Mameluke Sqaudron, as per ITGM 10 wonderful figures by Ged, really lovely sculpts, I am looking forward to getting some paint on them. 

Perry Vendee/Chouans another bunch of wonderful Perry sculpted figures, hope to get some paint on them by the end of the year. I also added 4 boxes of 1807 line, metal command, 2 boxes of hussars, a box of British line and metal command. 

From Gripping Beast/Calpe  a regiment of 18 Prussian Landwehr cavalry to add to my Prussians 

In 20mm Early War Minuatures Belgian infantry, support vehicles and light tanks. For my 21st Panzer some bren carriers with nebel Werfer. The infantry will allow me to complete my Belgian infantry and armour project, the German bits are for my 21st Panzer build coming up next year. 

I could not resist two bloodbowl teams Goblins and Halflings for 15£ from the bring and buy, I nearly bought them retail two days previously when I visited GW for 23£ each. 

Bits, as always a few loose ancients and sci fi pieces  ….. but I did forget to buy bases from Warbases ….

Gallic Chieftain Chichester

 Another item on my list for my visit to the Chichester museum and their unique well preserved Celtic helmet and tomb of a 1st century BC grave goods. 

The helmet is extraordinary, although in my opinion I think multi coloured horse hair in the plume or even perhaps feathers. 

Cheers
