A view from the past .

 


The decorating is still in progress which is preventing much modeling/gaming - everthing is seeming to take longer than it should - all the painting is taking 2 or 3 coats and as I suspected all the walls are not level or plumb ! , flat pack furnishing is next ! ( Oh joy!!) . One thing the cleaning and tidying has turned up is the above photo of myself and Mrs K . It was taken about 20 years ago when we were camping at Whitby in a very small tent (we forgot to pack all the camping cutlery , plates, mugs etc and had to scourer  the town for replacements). There was a photographic gallery that did sepia period photos and so we had our picture taken . It may be a trick of the light but my beared and hair look a LOT darker than they are now ! .... It will be taking pride of place in the finished room !

  4. The sun never set on such as these! I wonder, did they provide the costume or were those photoshopped onto yourselves?
