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’m still green with envy!
ReplyDelete😂…
DeleteI reckon the show scene is one of the advantages of living in the U.K….
All the best. Aly
A splendiferous spending spree Sir.
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed Phil…

Showing restraint? That's something of a myth in my book!
ReplyDeleteWell… 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…
DeleteConstrained might be a better description 😁
All the best. Aly
I think I can safely say that that qualifies as a pile!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does …
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Happiness is, a pile of new things!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed Phil…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Glad you had a good day out Aly, less than 3 weeks until our weekend social gaming,

It was a lot of fun Willz…
DeleteI am already counting down the days…😁
All the best. Aly
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!
ReplyDeleteAnd a very satisfying haul…
DeleteAll the best…Aly
I’ve split the reply between both posts…😁
No doubt you had a binge of sweets, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to the pile of blisters, colour pots and books becoming a new project on the game board!
Of course I did 😁
DeleteI am looking forward to starting my new project…
All the best. Aly
Your show take-aways are examples of Retail Therapy and pent-up demand.
ReplyDeleteYour not wrong there Jonathan…
DeleteIt has certainly made me feel better…
All the best. Aly
Restraint, Ye Know It Not! What a wonderful haul to mark your return to active service! A whole library of books!!
ReplyDeleteRestraint… it’s a word that I use… but I actually have no idea what it means…
DeleteIt was good to get back out ‘in the field’… and these books don’t buy themselves…😁
All the best. Aly
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!
ReplyDeleteI am very pleased with my new important purchases…
DeleteThere 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 😁
Looks like a great haul of books, I was also surprised to find I had money left as I walked away!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
We were clearly not trying hard enough Iain…
DeleteBut there is always the Other Partizan…
All the best. Aly
I always have steely resolve and immense restraint.....until I get through the doors that is. That's a great haul Aly!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
I’ve heard people talking about ‘sticking to a budget’… Whatever that is… it sounds really uncomfortable 😂
DeletePeople 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
That's a decent haul!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed Jay…
DeleteAnd I’ve already started painting some of it…
All the best. Aly
