No, I haven't taken up gaming. Just a virtual scamper through the German trenches with @sommecourt.bsky.social of @oldfrontline.bsky.social
Wishing I was back out there.

First time out in the WW1 OR kit I treated myself to a couple of years ago. (Does one good to join the ranks occasionally!).
Me with my great-uncle, LCpl James Crowley, KIA near La Boiselle 1st July 1916 with 20th Northumberland Fusiliers/1st Tyneside Scottish.
Feeling oddly emotional.

Throwback to Christmas 1996 where the school has a "come in civvies" day, everybody turns up in jeans and t-shirts and the 17yr old Bevster arrives as Louis XIV of France.
Some things never change.

Real Life's been hectic for the last few months but as the exodus from the Muskiverse continues, I should probs pop up on here more often.
Welcome to my little corner... it's chock full of sewing history stuff, tickly tortoise feeties and the trials of cohabiting with six rabbits. Buckle in...

Had a lot going on in Real Life lately and social media's taken a back seat, but here's the latest creation I've been working on between family stuff, photographed at 11pm after a rough day.
The second pic is nearest to the actual colour. It is very, very pink. Not my usual colour but I love it!

My kitchen bench this morning.
Seven of these round items are delicious shortbread.
One is a piece of carbolic soap used to persuade the rabbits not to eat the door frame.
I'll let you work out what just happened. 🤢
