My honest apologies that I was lost for the last weeks without notice. Fortunately there are no bad news connected to this. There was simply no time to get anything sorted for the blog because the last weeks were an extraordinary labour. We spent two weekends with trips and in between our younger daughter had to go to the hospital which of course didn't make things easier. Paired with flu and middle ear inflammation which haunted our family free time was short. Anyhow the last weekend with friends in Bavaria gave us the chance to clear our minds and catch some energy. Thus I'm optimistic that things'll go more orderly again...
So I'll keep marching on with the blog now !

- In two weeks there'll be Crisis 2014 in Antwerp taking place. The THS is preparing a presentation game dealing with the French intervention in Mexico during the 1860s. Especially our fellow Kalle but a lot of efforts in the project and we'll be happy to welcome any visitors at our table.
More about the game itself and some pictures will follow this or next week.
- For this year's "Secret Santa" and "Santa Clause" ventures the sails are set. I'll happily look for some nice things in Antwerp...
- Currently I'm working on an article for a rather large wargaming magazine so the time with brushed and paints is very limited. Please excuse that you'll not see much progress during the next two weeks.
- In the pipeline there are two AARs and two museum reviews. The pictures are more or less prepared so rather soon I'll be able to finish those.
- I haven't forgot the announced raffle for my 100K step at Monty's Caravan. It'll take place soon...
Oh, that middle ear inflammation thing can be extremely painful (bitter personal childhood experience).
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you're all recovering. Beautiful picture your friend managed to take, it really sets the AWI stage nicely. On a more personal note, I rather miss Bavaria too. I can't get the food, nor the fantastic Maisel's dunkel here in Sweden. Will have to go back to Nürnberg and Bayreuth for the Christmas markets!
Nürnberg is definitely worth a visit. Especially the castle is top-notch for people interested in the Holy Roman Empire.
DeleteAs for the food I never tried to send bottles by post. Do you want to try?
Cheers
Stefan
