Spring Skirmish 2014

Despite a very busy period at work that saw me in the office over the weekend I was able to slip in a few hours of R&R on Sunday, and took the whole family to Sidcup for the spring edition of Skirmish. In return for dragging the wife and kids round a Wargames and Toy Soldier show we then went and had a nice picnic afterwards to soak up some of the much needed spring sunshine. So all in all we had a pretty nice day, even if the eldest had to hobble around on her crutches! As usual I spent most of my time at the show chatting with friends and it was good to see a few old faces. I didn't take a huge number of pictures this time because I was chin-wagging so much, but here's a selection of what I did take.

As well as snapping pictures and chatting I also got a bit of retail therapy under my belt, and left with a couple of great books for my North Africa project (more on them later). This is a cracking little show and seem's busier every time I go. There were a lot of people there on Sunday and a lot of children and spouses too, so clearly we were not the only ones making a day out of it.
