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

Friday, 10 July 2026

Wild Geese 2026… P.S.

Greetings…

I completely forgot to mention the quiz…

Every year we have a quiz set by one of our more intelligent comrades… 

This years was a tough one…( Thank you Toby).

And you will not be surprised to learn our/my team… came…. 🎉🎉🎉… Fourth!

Out of…. 

Four 🙀

But…

Rather surprisingly that meant we got a prize…. The Wooden Spoon. ( One for each team member no less)

First place got cheers… Second and Third gave the cheers… And we got this…

Beautifully hand painted…

I think I will strive to do minimal research for next year’s quiz 🤣🤣🤣.

All the best   Aly

    Prize for coming last--did he also have "The World Turned Upside Down" playing in the background during the ceremony?

      I think the world turns upside down when I actually win 🤔
