Whilst on holiday Mr Walker takes Mrs Walker to visit Missolonghi Bay *, the location where Lord Bygone came ashore to help the Helenyka Republic in their struggle to free themselves from the Sublime Porte .
They finally find the exact place - Mr Walker is ecstatic and very impressed ! - Mrs Walker seems less so - in fact she complains the lack of a cafe or ice cream van !
Lord Bygone swears an oath to defend the independence of the Republic of Helenyka (painting on the works of Ludovico Lipparini )

Excellent post Tony! I love the Walkers on holiday, they go to such wonderful places! The painting and your figure are both beautiful, really well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you , they haven,t managed to get away much this year.
DeleteThe Walkers look to be enjoying their holidays, Lord Bygone is a cracking figure, very dashing!
ReplyDeleteThe weather was perfect , the figurevis a converted Irregular 40mm .
DeleteHi Tony,
ReplyDeleteSplendid post! Mrs Walker’s immediate concern regarding the lack of an ice cream van or café is dead accurate for a proper British holiday outing!
All the best, Andy
Yes and not to mention the total absence of cream teas !
DeleteHaha, dead right! No jam and clotted cream in sight—Lord Bygone clearly needs to sort out his logistical priorities for the next excursion!
DeleteAll the best, Andy
Yes better provisions next time.
DeleteLord Bygone! LOL. I nearly spat my tea over my computer!
ReplyDeleteNice to see the Walkers out and about again. Anglesey, sorry Missolonghi Bay looks nice.
The weather was Mediteranian .
DeleteTerrific fun the Walkers!
ReplyDeleteGreece is the word.
It most certainly is !
DeleteAlthough I appreciate an unspoiled and non-commercialized spot of historical significance as much as the next fellow, I would tend to agree with Mrs Walker: what a great spot for an ice cream stand!
ReplyDeleteYes a ice cream palour is never out of place !
