I realised that I haven't posted anything on here for nearly 5 years! That means a lot has happened in my life that has impacted on my hobby, both for the better and the worse.

I have moved to Kent, got divorced and am about to get married again, so that can give you some insight into why I might not have been as diligent in blogging as I could have been. The hobby stuff spent a lot of time in storage, and there was a period were I was doing a lot of buying but not much painting or playing.

Over the period I've been off air I've come to realise that I'm never going to achieve some things so holding onto those projects 'just in case' was pointless, and a lot has gone on eBay. I can seen that I was already getting frustrated by the shows back in 2019, and this has continued. I have been back to Salute and others since, but the old excitement has gone, and I now find myself not that bothered if I don't get to a show from one year to the next. Similarly my taste in gaming has changed. Whilst I still love Ken Reilly's podcast and aspirations of BIG games, I am becoming more attracted to the smaller scales. I think this is due to the ease I am having painting the epic Napoleonics from Warlord, and I am slowly moving across to 15mm or less for everything except Imaginations and ACW. where I'll stay true to 20mm plastics and 30mm Spencer Smiths respectively.

My new gaming set up will be a 12x6 set of tables in a shed, so will have storage underneath and around. By going to 10-15mm for most things it will allow me to use the same terrain. 

At least that's the plan....
