David Bickley's Wargames Blog

The occasional ramblings of an average gamer, journeyman painter, indifferent modeller, games designer, sometime writer for Wargames Illustrated and host of games in GHQ.

It's My Blogiversary!

Tales From GHQ is celebrating its 11th Birthday today! I took a look back at my first posting last night ~

It seems I was painting ACW command stand figures, in this case Bobby Lee and entourage for the Army of Northern Virginia. I still have that vignette base but have to admit it seldom sees the light of day. I also note I'd been adding figures to the Anglo-Zulu War collection, again quite apt as I've only recently added the Prince Imperial figures too.

Did I think I'd still be blogging in 2022 back then? Probably not I'd say. Might I still be blogging in another 11 years? Well, I think that's something best not dwelt on. I'd definitely be a geriatric wargamer if I get that far! It's probably more sensible to just take each day as it comes and enjoy it to the max. Family, Friends, Neighbours and our wonderful hobby are worth celebrating every day! Wherever you are and whatever hobby activity you're planning, do enjoy your days, each and every one. Me? Sue and I are going out to lunch with Phil and Di, but no doubt there'll be some hobby stuff along the way today...
