On Sunday Mr C went to the Derby wargame show with a couple of his mates. I was asked if I wanted to go and I considered perhaps being dropped of at a Stately home nearby. I decided to stay at home, I thought there might be too much wargame talk in the car.
I had just finished reading a chapter in a book about The Battle of Flodden to help me with a post I was writing for Vision & Verb, when the phone rang. It was Mr C. He started off by telling me that a Battle of Flodden re-enactment game was going on at the show. But more importantly as he arrived at the show he bumped into Gavin & Jen (two of the Aussies we met at the Coach House). It turns out that he is a wargamer too!!
What are the chances of that?
I’m not a wargamer Cherie… but i love this beautiful image of the harvest framed with a twig and a branch….peter:)
I am not a wargamer either
I much prefer history or the beauty of nature 
See! You just never know, Cherry. I wonder if you wished you had gone, in order to see Gavin and Jen again…or were you just as glad to still be home?!
I did ponder on that. But even if I had gone along I wouldn’t have gone to the wargame show, I would have been dropped off along the way. I am glad I chose not to accompany Mr C on his journey because I know I would have wished he hadn’t dropped me off along the way
It’s a small world.
But I wouldn’t want to paint it.
It is a small world.
*whispers* they don’t paint it either, they pay someone to do that
Sshh… don’t tell anyone…
These things keep happening – it is very strange. I am sorry you missed Flodden, though
They do keep happening!!
I would have liked to see that table re-enactment. I even asked Mr C. to take some photos of it for me. They all came out blurred… It was obviously not meant to be
and I considered perhaps being dropped of at a Stately home nearby
History, gardens, photo opportunities and tranquility… what more could a girl want?
I’d like to visit Derby one day.
I have driven through it on many occasions
