The last weekend of the school summer vacation and we were hunting around for something to do. Normally we would go to a big event like Military Odyssey but we decided to give it a miss this year as we have done this event so many times even I was getting a little tired of it. So instead we decided to visit Rochester in Kent for a little retail therapy. The high street has several really good bookshops with extensive military history sections. Needless to say I treated myself to a few second-hand books!
Rochester is also graced with an excellent and very well stocked games shop. I treated myself to some X-Wing models and picked up some paint and varnish so by the end of the day I was a very happy chappie.

We rounded the day off with a visit to the Guildhall Museum in Rochester. They have a very interesting exhibition on the Prison Hulks of the Medway and other nautical items, including an amazing model of the HMS Victory.
Looks like a day well-spent to me.
ReplyDeleteNot that many of us care if you are a very happy chappie.

ReplyDeleteThe Irishman Is just jealous.
Medway games, models and railways usually has something interesting in as well.!
Am not:P
DeleteMiles from civilisation with less than the bare essentials for 219 days...I think that would make a saint grumpy. And as you were nowhere close to being a saint to start with...
