I'm hoping to kick start my return to #wargaming in 2026 by picking up Pillage. New rules, new scenery, new miniatures. Im actually ahead of the curve, and I got some scenery cast already. Came out well.

Diwn by the sea at #Clevedon. Break in the rain saw an opportunity to take some pictures of the #pier. Sun was behind me, so I struggled to keep my shadow out of the shot. #photography #phonephoto #coast #sea #sky #sunlight #rocks

Been out #night doing street #photography, as in photos of streets. 😆
It was misty out but the light was quite bewitching (even on the estate)
The orange street lights made a better image, so I converted the white light to b&w

Sometimes, I get a beautiful and amazing reminder of how lovely autumn is and how lucky I am to live where I do! But also how I really need to go back to carrying a proper camera.

The composure looked good, with the path snaking off and disappearing, and the hard side light... but the tree is too big I think.

Just realised I'm a week early for halloween. My pumpkin will be looking decidedly worse for wear by then...

Carved mine the other day (time pressures), went for the classic basic design. But I'm hoping to make a top hat for it! #halloween

It got worse! Final score, after getting a right answer (not the first time) for each question.
Yay 8/16! A fantastic 96% of the 9 missing words correctly inserted!

All those surrounding buds have bloomed. Looks almost like I know how to grow roses.

Late blooming rose, was surprised to see this today after the strong winds and rain. Looks like we have some more blooms on the way too. #flower #rose #garden #pottedplants #photography

Is this likely to strip the paint (and undercoat) off plastic #warhammer miniatures from the 90's (in case the plastic has changed). They are painted in #citadel paints, but not sure what was sprayed as undercoat.

Turns out its not, its about 7 times more expensive based on a 20 metre fence.
Makes more sense to put the solar panels on the roof. They are more efficient and won't get pinched.

Took this a few weeks ago and didn't think it turned out as well as I hoped. Just seen it again, and I quite like it now. Still, shame about the van 🚚
