Hiatus in the Burrow


Things are getting a little tough here in the Burrow. Katherine is still fighting her third cancer scare in two years while trying to manage a severe form of diabetes. They’re not quite mutually exclusive thank goodness. I always find the latter hard to understand as there’s more meat on a butcher’s pencil than on her. It’s genetic. ALSO her mum wants to sell our home which thankfully isn’t all hers to sell and she has moved out in a strop.

We shall get through this but it is hard. We have faith, the law and bloody mindedness and a huge amount of integrity and intellect on our side. Technically the Burrow is at risk but realistically that is an unlikely outcome. So for the next few weeks or months I don’t know if I shall be able to post any game reports or even pictures of newly painted units, but I will keep plugging away with the book reviews and perhaps other stuff as well.  Maybe pick up the paint brush too.

Thanks to all my friends for their support. It means a great deal. Without them it would be an even greater uphill struggle.

    P.s really enjoy the book reviews as they add more temptation to add to the already overflowing Ducal Library.
