Birthday presents

For my birthday I was lucky enough to receive a number of modelling and gaming presents.

Gary & Beckie bought me a book about early ships/boats that is packed full of great black and white illustrations. Guess what my next modelling project is?

Sue bought me the Hobby's Catalogue 2011, which is a model-makers dream read, just full of great items. I also received a copy of the L. A. Carlyon book Gallipoli

Holly gave me the current issue of Wargames Illustrated, number 281. And later this week I received the WI, number 282 from Dave and Debbie at Grand Manner.

For my birthday we had a slap-up Chinese meal and a HUGE cake covered in butter icing and then spotted with Jelly Beans from Jen & Ivor. I still have some money from my Mother-in-Law which I intend spending later this week and the very practical present of a set of lounging pants and top from Mum.

Thank you to all.
