Happisburgh


A Beautiful part of Norfolk, although not sure how isolated it will be in the summer. Was able to indulge two of my current passions, churches and pillboxes, add in a light house.

The church was especially beautiful with hints of the Rood Screen. 
The font was especially pretty and looked old.
There were a couple of interesting plaques on the wall, overall a very calm and tranquil experience.

Beautiful views of the sea from the churchyard.

Churches in Norfolk Part 2 (Thompson)

Incredible church, as it always seems such a small hamlet but such a big church. 

Nothing too fancy, the roof is exceptional and craftmanship to repair it is exceptional, there is even a mirror to see the roof, so you don't strain your neck. 

Lots of history relating back to the last king of the Punjab.

Churches in Norfolk part 1 (Bracton Ash)


 Norfolk has a huge history of churches, this is a beautiful example in Bracton Ash, St Nicholas. So calm so interesting additions that look out of character such as this porch, and extension that reminds me of Georgian Bath. 

A little research shows this was a family mausoleum, showing again the relationship of local churches to the families who built them and maintained them.

Saga Minatures

Not posting these as I feel I am an expert, but as something that reminds me of what I did, at least I can touch up the paint. 

I use Citadel paints as I find them easy to buy.

A few gripping beast archers, the yellow is  Averland Sunset. Makes things a bit brighter.

The armour I used Leadbelcher, seems to look like armour.


As with lots of stuff leather not easy, but used Rhinox Hide and Deathclaw Brown as well as Mournfang Brown (I seem to use lots of that, used it for the bases too.

Swapping Places

In conjunction with Bike Bath on Saturday 28 June, First will be running a safety awareness programme on the Recreation Ground from 09:30 to 15:00 as part of its commitment to improving safety on the roads.

There will be the opportunity to swap places with our drivers and see what it's like to sit in the cab of a bus. Our drivers will also be using the space to cycle around the bus and understand the difficulties cyclists face, There will be the opportunity to talk to our drivers about any concerns you might have as well as sharing ideas.

There will also be the opportunity to win a number of prizes including puncture repair kits and bus tickets.

Decorating bikes with flowers

It may sound like a silly idea of decorating bikes with flowers, but with Bath having such a heritage of participating in Bath in Bloom, maybe it isn't such a bad idea.

Anything that is fun and helps cycling is great, if you want to know more hop over to their web site
