I just want to wish all of you who have followed my Blog and commented on it over the past year a very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year! The interaction with fellow Bloggers has been greatly appreciated and will certainly be so in 2023. I hope you all have a wonderful day and maybe Santa will bring you some nice presents.
Let's hope you don't get a visit from the following chap! Why anyone would consider this suitable for a Xmas card beats me, but things were certainly different in the 19thC
Merry to Christmas to you and your family too Steve, what a wonderful card 😀 I think I would prefer this to the usual tree scene !
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt and I must admit the card is a nice counter point to all the saccherine fare we have to suffer at this time of year.
DeleteAnd a very merry Christmas to you and yours too Steve.
ReplyDeleteNow, before Christmas Day actually gets here, I just need to finish basing those 2mm and 6mm armies I started yesterday. Oh, and try to somehow remove the few drops of superglue that got onto the dining room tabletop… Push comes to shove, I’d better make sure there’s a clean new tablecloth to “hide the evidence”… 😎
All the very best,
Geoff
Thanks Geoff. I finished a game yesterday and have now tidied up the dining table and surrounding area ready for it to be used for its intended purpose. The Xmas tablecloth will come out to to help hide bits of flock etc stuck in the grain!
DeleteHi Steve....Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours....Regards.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Tony!
DeleteBest Wishes for Christmas and thanks for a year of blogging and supporting other blogs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm and good to see you back Blogging away again too.
DeleteMerry Christmas, Steve!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
DeleteMerry Christmas, Steve! I like the card but Krampus folklore is not one to which I am familiar. I have seen a few wargamers putting on a Christmas Krampus game, though.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon. I think he's the sort of character that abducts children if they haven't been good at this time of year, so a sort of reverse Santa. Time to Google exactly what he's all about...
DeleteMerry Christmas Steve. Thanks for your inspiration and encouragement.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the card has any link to Knecht Ruprecht, who I think is a kind of German anti-Santa used to scare children into being good.
Thanks Richard and glad to have been of some inspiration to you and others. I've enjoyed your 2mm games immensely and look forward to what you have planned for 2023.
DeleteI've never heard of Knecht Ruprecht, so something else to research tomorrow:).
A Merry Christmas to you too Steve, I hope you and the family have a good day, lots of fun and not too much stress (we all know what Christmas can be like!) Thanks for all the great posts over the year and also for visiting and commenting on my own blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith! Xmas starts on September 1st for us with our son, so by now we are rather looking forward to it being all over. The past 10 days have been rather challenging to say the least. At least all the food is prepared so an easy day on the cooking front tomorrow:).
DeleteI'm glad you've enjoyed my posts and likewise too yours have been fun to follow, with rather large doses of jealousy when you post the tourist brochure walks etc. Your figures aren't too bad either;)!
A very Merry Christmas to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark and the same to you and yours!
DeleteA belated Happy Xmas to you, Steve. Hope you have a good New Year. I just wonder where that demonic character learned to drive. Does he have a licence? Is he properly insured? The broken manacle does suggest it's probably a stolen vehicle (with 2 children already on board? They don't look too happy, do they?) and he is making his getaway... Nightmare! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
David.
Many thanks David. I reckon he also rides one of the many illegal electric scooters we are plagued with in and around Bristol, alongside some of the electric bikes that are as fast as mopeds!!!
