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

Saturday 16 July 2022

Another Blog Birthday.

 


Greetings…

Hurrah! Another Blog Birthday… And of course it wouldn’t be a celebration without Drinky.

It’s certainly been another interesting year…
Last year at this time I was still working from home full time and continuing to shield myself from most of the outside world… Then I caught Covid and had my fourth jab and now I have started going into the office again, I have been out and about, wargaming and even going to shows… Things have changed and hopefully they will continue to do so…
I managed to get a fair few toys painted…Although this has slowed down a bit lately… Due to work, life and a desire to sit with a beer in the sun.

Has my butterfly taken me to any interesting new adventures… Of course it has… They will be revealed in due course when I have something to show off.

The highlight of the last year was of course having Mharaid stay over at Xmas and prove that my dice throwing is still as atrocious as ever…

Here’s to the next year and more wargames, shows and toys…

All the best.  Aly

    Happy birthday blog!
    "As always, it is the spirit that keeps us going beyond all adversities", Drinky says, alluding to the contents of the bottle in his hand... : D
    Really a happy anniversary, and it's nice that a blog keeps itself so alive, despite all the competition from social networks. Keep it up!

    I am very glad you are still helping to keep the Blogosphere going. People say it's fallen out of fashion but I still love it and it's because of people like you and your content. Many happy returns.

      I will leave Facing Book and Twittering to the young hipsters…There is something solid and comforting about blogging.

    Hello there Aly,

    Congrats on the blog birthday! I have always enjoyed seeing the pictures of your wonderful painted stuff - either in action or fresh from the paint tray - and your rather whimsical and self deprecating outlook on stuff in general. A very refreshing, dare I say charming? read and naturally you are a top bloke as well!

    Here’s to more of your adventures!

    All the best,

    DC
