ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Sunday 29 May 2022

Partizan 2022… The stuff.

Greetings…

I was going to show everything I bought individually….But as some of it is for a future project and there is quite a few books, I am just posting one picture of the pile for now…

I shall show the books later in smaller batches, which should give me some time to have a good look through them…

Here we go…

I saved up some money over the last year and a bit so I could have a good old splurge when I got back to going to shows… which I did.

Although I was somewhat surprised to find I still had some of the money left at the end of the day… Clearly I was showing restraint… Although I think ‘A kid let loose in a sweetshop ‘ would still be a more accurate description…😂

Hopefully next time I will have some Canadian Light Dragoons to show you.


All the best.  Aly

      I reckon the show scene is one of the advantages of living in the U.K….

  3. Showing restraint? That's something of a myth in my book!

    1. Well… It wasn’t so much restraint… There we’re a couple more traders I wanted to buy from… but one wasn’t there and the other didn’t have what I wanted with them…
      Constrained might be a better description 😁

      All the best. Aly

  4. I think I can safely say that that qualifies as a pile!

  7. Just realised I made a comment about the haul on the wrong post ie the previous one - thats what comes of reading two posts at once to catch up!

      I’ve split the reply between both posts…😁

  8. No doubt you had a binge of sweets, didn't you?
    We look forward to the pile of blisters, colour pots and books becoming a new project on the game board!

  9. Your show take-aways are examples of Retail Therapy and pent-up demand.

    1. Restraint… it’s a word that I use… but I actually have no idea what it means…
      It was good to get back out ‘in the field’… and these books don’t buy themselves…😁

      All the best. Aly

  11. Wonderful haul, I doubt I'm the only one who's been enlarging the picture to guess what treasures are hidden beneath. I'm impressed you came away with money!

    1. I am very pleased with my new important purchases…
      There is actually another book that didn’t get into the picture… it kept falling off the chair…
      I was indeed a bit surprised when I realised that I still had money left…
      Mind you there is always the Other Partizan 😁

  12. Looks like a great haul of books, I was also surprised to find I had money left as I walked away!

  13. I always have steely resolve and immense restraint.....until I get through the doors that is. That's a great haul Aly!

    1. I’ve heard people talking about ‘sticking to a budget’… Whatever that is… it sounds really uncomfortable 😂
      People have gone to a lot of effort to make all those shiny new toys… so it would be rude not to buy any…

      All the best. Aly
