Motor Trip 2025: Northumberland and Scotland

This spring my son and I made a 5-day motor trip to and through Northumberland and Scotland. 

A pictorial impression follows below. 

Our first morning (nearly) in the UK: we forgot the time difference and arrived an hour (too) early for breakfast. 

And the coffee machine was broken...

2025 Japan year: Samurai, Yokai, Test of Honour, Killer Katanas and what not?

After finishing Conan 2025 seems to turn out to be a Japan year. I am building armies and lists (and terrain) for Test of Honour, Ronin and Killer Katanas. 

I wil very likely try out Clash of Katanas as well as the Heiho system Wargames Atlantic is promising me.

But first some paintwork:
