Unlike what seems like every other gaming blogger in the UK, I couldn't make it to SELWG this year. Which sucks a bit, I would have liked to have poked about at a decent games show. It sounds like everyone had a ball of a time and picked up lots of goodies.
I did get a trip to Greenwich on a lovely crisp autumnal day, taking a river boat rather than the tube for a change. Once there, I visited the recently re-opened Cutty Sark. While it was the Missus' treat, I did get to squeeze a bit of history in at least! Today I get the Eurostar to Bruges for a relaxing few days break. Bruges doesn't seem to be a hotbed of gaming, but ive brought the bumper WI issue 300 to keep me entertained and of course there is certainly plenty of history in the area to absorb.

I did hope to have some finished models to share, shock horror I have been painting Napoleonics once again. After 9 months off them, I could just about face more red and white. They just need finishing touches and basing, so I'll post them next week.
I may get some more blogging time over the next few days, so I may be able to post a few other bits that I had planned but haven't got around to writing.
Bruges? By train/ I thought you were meant to fly there ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a good break.
Oh no, train is far easier. Direct to Brussels then intercity to Bruges. An absolute doddle. Trying t figure out where else I an go by train rather than air!
DeleteAnd, it's cheaper and quicker than going to Yorkshire to see my brother. The cost of British trains is outrageous!
If it makes you feel better I did not go either ;-)
