Crafts of many types, including silver jewellery, lapidary, book binding, watercolours and leather work to name a few. Also a fan of warhammer miniatures, Cornwall, Devon and Dorset. Pictures of all of the above will most definitely appear here.

Thank you.
One day I might even have a large enough army to game with. I will add more to these once this box set is finished.
Love the look of the fusiliers and the artillery units.

Arm attached to shield, I need to finish painting the arm before attaching to the figure. Speed painter Iโ€™am not.
Once fitted I can then paint the outside of the shield. #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #40k #warhammer #gamesworkshop #miniaturepainter

Today the weather has been horrendous at times, biblical rain and thunder, meanwhile my dog Bill sleeps through it without a care in the world. #dachshund #dogslife #thunder #storm

I donโ€™t have a printer (yet) so if you can let me know who can do them for me that would be grand.

Getting some painting done, go me. Nearly ready for his left arm, only his helmet and all the washes to do. Then I have a choice of arms to put on. #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #40k #warhammer #modelpainting #minipainting #miniaturepainting.

Nice little trail bimble today. Breathing and pace control was so much better today in the cooler air, A little bit of rain boot. Visited an ancient hill fort and two little village churches. #trailrunning #running #jogging #bimble

When I visit #Cornwall I tend to go looking for the old engine house ruins, These books are an amazing resource for information on their whereabouts. And if there are still spoil heaps the mineral book comes in handy when looking to see if thereโ€™s anything of interest. #old #mines #minerals

The missus, Bill and myself visited Somerset Lavender today. Been a few times over the years.
Great place to spend an hour or so. Walk the fields, then visit the cafe and shop. The site seems to be improving every visit. #lavender

Fortunately I was one of the lucky ones, it didnโ€™t happen in the end. But people I work with got laid off. Thankfully Iโ€™m still in work. But it was a close call. Thanks for reaching out.

This time last week I had a weekend away to look forward to. This week I faced redundancy. Wonder what this weekend will hold for me?? Ian hoping to do some drawing and maybe some watercolour painting. #art #watercolours #weekend

So today was a hard day, The not knowing for four hours if I was staying or being made redundant was tough going. Thankfully Iโ€™m staying in work, The feeling of relief was overwhelming to the point of being really drained. Iโ€™m so thankful that I can get up for work as normal tomorrow.

So tomorrow I face the fact that I could be but on an at risk list for redundancy, This really isnโ€™t good for the anxiety, to the point of almost being sick.
Not looking forward to going in tbh. But I also want to know asap.

What a great weekend Iโ€™ve had in #Cornwall, very chilled. I really donโ€™t want to go home but needs must.
Mostly the #stives area this time. Didnโ€™t make it to the tin coast as I had hoped, shall make up for it in Sept when I down again but for a bit longer.

Early morning run, Ridiculously hot even at 7am. But Iโ€™m glad I got out there and did it. Scenery was amazing and the sea was so calm.
Did go an absolute pisser though thanks to a tree root, cut my hand open but nothing serious. Another 5k in the bag. #running #jogging #getfit #trailrunning
