I like cooking, photography, reading, music and wine. I have two Westies who I love dearly and I am in a civil partnership. History is a passion of mine, also Wargaming. Take a look at my blog https://hippolytastinyfootsteps.blogspot.com/
Despite me having a bad back, we have put our Christmas tree up. Nicky did the heavy lifting, though.

Listening to this at the moment. Every time I come back to the album, I still find it fresh and so very inventive.

Black? As in Black Ops, perhaps?

Here are three chaps that qualify, from the Copplestone Future Wars range. Whaddya mean, Pulp Fiction? Gimme a Royale with Cheese.

Rotters and rogues? Not a problem. These guys aren't very nice. In fact, they are downright villainous;

In March 2019 we took a trip around France, to buy wine and other things in case the UK was going to leave the EU at the end of the month. Here is Montpellier in the sunshine on March 11th, taken with my Pentax K-70.

According to Frostgrave, a Bog Man is a kind of Undead creature found in bogs and marshes. They have no skeleton and are basically a human-shaped bag of flesh filled with mud and marsh gas.

Last night it was steak frites, washed down with a bottle of Paul Jaboulet Parallèle 45 Côtes du Rhône, which was a perfect match. Sometimes, the simple things are best.

Here is a rose from the bush in my front garden, taken in 2015. It is still producing loads of lovely flowers every year.

Here are some more no context textures, all taken this summer with my current DSLR, a Pentax K-70, a terrific camera with more features than I'll ever need or use.

It is cold and raining in Bristol today. Here is somewhere a bit more cheerful, the main square in Aigues-Mortes, on the edge of the Camargue. My old Pentax K-30 DSLR with DA 18-55 lens.
