A balmy 2C in Devon this morning with strong winds cancelling the traditional Christmas morning dip in the Ocean.

Having already had a late night call from our daughter in New Zealand and a Christmas Eve party at our house it's a lie in this morning before calls to our other 4 children, and exchange of presents with my wife (nothing toy soldier related I suspect) and then off for a family gathering at my parents.

I will check in this evening for the last sketch while I wish you all a merry Christmas!

You try in life to be good and measured, decide what you are going to collect and say to yourself in a firm tone "no more new ranges". As a friend says "I am putting my foot down, with a firm hand, no more". Then John does this and brings out a range that you have wanted for a long time. Is he running a TS company or a cult? Just hoping for figures from the famous painting by William Warren.
