I've Been On Holiday.

Been away for a few days staying on a campsite near Bamburgh in Northumberland , well we didn't camp, we stayed in a 'wigwam' which looked like a overturned boat as we took the dog as well so we thought it would be easier. Had several brisk walks taking in Dunstandburgh Castle and St Cuthbert's Cave .


Mrs K and Charlie outside our hut .


Dunstandburgh Castle and cows. The weather was fine although a little bracing . Not much in the modelling/wargaming line whilst there but I did manage to get a couple of 'Cadfeal' books from a charity shop.


Charlie makes himself at home , by and large his behaviour was good with only one slip when he stole a walkers sandwich ,who luckily thought it amusing (the rumours that I am training him to steal expensive cameras and watches is untrue) .


Saint Cuthbert's cave - rather eerie ! . This trip was not helped by me forgetting my camera and having to resort to using my phone to take photos , there were lots of interesting WW2 pillboxes on the coast but sadly the photos I took of them were very poor (probably my fault rather than the cameras) . A relaxing break but back now to start painting up the hordes of wargaming figures that need painting.

    1. Spent the afternoon cleaning figures up and spray undercoating (should have been gardening - but luckily the weather has prevented it : ) )

  2. I enjoyed reading the Brother Cadfael series of books. A bit romanticized but so what, eh?

    I hope that you enjoyed your holiday and that you've come back rejuvenated, sir.

  5. How can you say nothing wargamingish with a castle like that around! You chaps are spoiled. Looks like a delightful set of companions to take camping, or hutting.
