500!!!
Somehow I've managed to write 499 posts (500 including this one) since I started the blog way back in April 2010. Some of the collections featured, such as the American Civil War and VBCW have long gone on to new homes around the world but the majority remain and over the years I've added new periods and armies as and when I've been inspired to do so. My wargaming circle has also greatly increased, with some comings and goings along the way, to become a very diverse and disparate (NOT desperate) group of like-minded wargamers.
The new man cave is technically up and running and tidied up enough for a game but I'm still waiting for the table to be increased to six feet wide. I might not bother with the three foot extension flap immediately. Invitations will be going out shortly.
Finally, despite having moved from Weardale to Middlesbrough I have absolutely no plans to change the name of the blog; for continuity it needs to stay unchanged.
Congrats on such a milestone! I really enjoy reading your posts as well as looking at your (current) prodigious painting output.
ReplyDeleteCheers Steve. I'm just playing catch up with the painted-not-based-'cos-I-didnt-have-the-energy-pile!
DeleteCongrats, keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThankyou Phil
DeleteHappy Blogiversary! At your present rate the next 500 should be published before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI shall take that as a challenge!
DeleteWell didn’t that fly by. Well done sir.
ReplyDeleteHere's to the next 500!
DeleteHappy blogday!
ReplyDeleteA fine piece of work that is, always, worth reading !
No birthday cake though!
DeleteCongratulations, that feels like a prodigious output, well done. It puts me to shame as I have only done 149 since I started in late 2011. Love the name of the blog which has a whimsical feel to it matching its owner, and you are one of the giants of the wargame blogosphere to me, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Chris.
DeleteWell done Colin!
ReplyDeleteLife would be duller without your lively posts...
I agree totally with Chris Gregg's thoughts.
Keep it up Colin!
Thanks Mark and see you in June still I trust.
