Lovely day giving the kit an airing at Fort Nelson today The boy spent the day using my spoon to dig up the garage ground looking for moles and informing museum-goers; "It's a red boom cannon. It's got gunpowder in *wags finger* so be careful!" #reenactor #sealedknot #proudmusketparent

It's amazing how much produce you can get from a small plot. We turned half our driveway over to a greenhouse and some raised beds and now we have tomato, courgette, fennel, pumpkin, beans, peas, rainbowchard, carrots, leeks, sweetcorn, cauliflower and herbs instead! #veg #garden #smallplot

Recovering from a massive event at work yesterday. This Eldar Autarch basically made itself #aeldari #40k #nerdlings #eldar #conversion #warhammer #11thedition

I’m not saying it’ll definitely work but have we even considered sacrificing oil and gas executives to the sun god?

Eclectic painting evening tonight; on the patio with feet in the paddling pool. Progress made on scenery, tanks and an Eldar Farseer while @vickycalleway.bsky.social embroidered. Still too hot (34 inside temp upstairs is unreal) so hammock in the garden it is! #nerdlings #40k #heatwave #hammock

Lovely afternoon at the beach with @vickycalleway.bsky.social! Swimming, fishes, sandcastles, ice cold beers and some naturism (for me and the bairn) #nudistbeach #naturist #heatwave

Got a nudist beach within 25 minutes walk of my office and the option to take long lunches #livingthedream #nudist #naturist #beach

Remembered I can do random model projects so have started work on an #edgechronicles Sky Ship Loved these books as a child and early teen! #booksky #skyship #skypirates

"Pacifier" Pattern Hellhound, based of an immolate chassis sacrificing transport capacity to mount extra heavy flamers. Usually used by the Adeptus Arbites a troop is attached to the Vostroyan 17th Armoured for ritual cleansing duties in heretic combat zones. #nerdlings #40k #warhammer

This review of Fahrenheit 451 written in 1954 slaps.

The most horrific model I have ever converted and painted - counts as a Wardog Moirax generally! #nerdlings#findfolkfriday

Nearly done with this Shrine of Morr for #warhammer campaigns #tow #nerdlings #terrain #painting

My wife; "Maybe the Bi-pride badge is a bit subtle" Me; "Say no more" #pride #bipride #bisexual #heartstopper

When you *have* to take an hour for lunch and have an arts cafe around the corner from the office! Loving these Eldar Warlocks and Farseer #Iyanden #aeldari #eldar #40k #nerdlings

First Sea Swim of the year! #beach #swim #nudistbeach

Concept for a Tank Destroyer - effectively a tracked lascannon with super batteries. Used a Chimera chassis to keep it low to the ground, so it's easy to conceal for that all important first shot! #40k #nerdlings #tank #vostroya #imperialguars

WIP of the edge of an Empire Town just waiting for some Tomb Kings to come knocking... #warhammer #terrain #oldworld #empire #tombkings #nerdlings #oldhammer

Adding a touch of whimsy by painting my sons favourite Bumblebee (his favourite animal is a bee!) in a few places Might do a second bee template and add some more elsewhere in the house later! #bees #cottagecore #whimsical #homedecor #painting

A good day for priming some scatter terrain and gatehouse for The Old World campaign I'm planning! #nerdlings #campaign #warhammer #terrain

Beautiful walk this morning seeing the bluebells. Now; wild garlic pesto, sourdough, Graceburn cheese and toasted sunflower seeds bruschetta Foraged to fork in 20 minutes #foraged #sussexdowns #foodsky

Definitely unwell, maybe even poorly #nerdlings #findfolkFriday

Made my own Firestrike servo turret with bits from the box of bits! Pretty chuffed with it #nerdlings #40k #poorhammer #spacemarines #kitbash

Little Nurgle-y Dark Mechanicum-y fella, does he serve a gaming purpose? No. Is he gribbly good fun? Yes . #nerdlings #40k #nurgle #admech #darkmech

We bemoan the relentless, increasing and unceasing Tyranny of the phone On this soft February morning, Sunlight creeping over the hedge My phone buzzes with gentle chats Family sharing updates on tiny cousins Belated happy birthday wishes Brighten my morning Like spring flowers and coffee

Traditional #imbolc jam making using saved, found and gifted fruit! We're planting some seeds this afternoon after lunch with friends Couldn't resist baking a loaf to have fresh bread and jam for dinner! #jam #bread #gardening #bulbs

Plough pudding, does it look pretty? Well no... But it was delicious! Used a 50/50 mix of haggis and sausage meat which was an excellent choice. #ploughpudding #traditionalcuisine #yearoffeasting

Twenty year old paint to paint twenty year old minis! #woodelves #asrai #veteranofthelongwar #nerdlings #warhammer #gw

You know you've raised your toddler on (maybe?) too many of the @thelongestjohns.bsky.social sea shanties when he comes from nursery and ask for "tea... and RUM" ☠️🦜 #wellerman

Well 2025 was a good year for books! Total Read: 62 Favourite Fiction: Heartstopper Utterly compelling, beautifully written and illustrated. Favourite Non-Fiction: Is a River Alive? Stirring, sad, maddening and hopeful - just wonderful. #booksky #booksread #2025reads #bookslist #books #reader

Went to see the Christmas lights in the village with my son. Got mad. #poem #poet #christmas #refugeeswelcome

Wild Hunt!

Keep seeing people upset about the “Mansion Tax” potentially ruining their retirement, there’s actually a very simple solution for you: you need to stop getting lattes from Starbucks, cancel your Netflix subscription and gym membership, oh and stop having avocados. Hope this helps x

Expectations vs Reality.

Voting as Fire Extinguisher

Didn't expect to get down to the nudist beach again this year! #naturist #beach

Trains seem to shake poems out of me - maybe it's the enforced stillness with just my thoughts and nothing to be doing. #poem #parent #parentpoetry #toddlerlife #poemsky #poetry #poet
