My birthday was followed by having the workmen arrive to fit a new back door and ramp. It had been scheduled for sometime and we were wondering if it was ever going to be done. However, whilst it was being done and finished, I have been absent from the forum for quite a while. Although probably only 3 or 4 days, plus the birthday 2, I suddenly realised just how much I need this forum.
It's not just the modelling, looking at all the great painted figures and models, it's the conversations that we have on this forum. Friendships are being formed in a way that I've not encountered before and I find myself wanting to know what Bill, John, JTam, Grumpy and everybody else who will fill the page if I list them all, have been writing and discussing. I want to know how Laurigami, I think I have murdered the spelling, is getting on with all the modelling and painting of the models and buildings.
I finally managed to stop having to look after our 3 pets whilst the workmen were here, the dogs were magnificent but the little black ninja would have sneaked out to the front garden given half a chance. It seems as if we had appointments galore and , if I found time to come on the forum , it was just for an occasional click of 'like'. It now looks as if the Maybury family can finally settle in our lovely little 'nut hutch', and normal service can once again be resumed.
One thing I can definateley say is that I have truly missed you all and am pleased to be back. Lots of love, Geoff.
