You've done a cracking paint job on these, especially the green uniforms of the two guy's on the right.
No walking today and I'm sat in a windy field in Wales on the laptop because Mrs V seems to have sprained her ankle yesterday and is sat with an improving book and me looking after her every whim. ;)

Very nice indeed :)

Poor Mrs V, good to see your looking after her every whim John ;)

Thanks. Sorry to hear about Mrs. V's ankle. I recommend plenty of chilled champagne for pain-relief!

Thanks Frank, more to come soon.

I bought her a £1:00 bag of Tesco's finest frozen peas, they were half price. She is recovering fast and was able to tell me I was boiling water the wrong way!!!
Weather forecast here pretty dire and our friends have decided to go home, we might well go as well but as we (well me) are of northern stock we might stick it out for an extra day to prove a point. :)
