George may have paid his debt to society via prison, but that’s different from restoring relationships with people he’s hurt. He doesn’t see the difference, or understand that forgiveness cannot be demanded #TheArchers

@dunnettcentral.bsky.social I’m just re-reading the HoN (currently on SoG). I don’t recall Nicholas having a cat…?

I’m loving this latest project. The Airfix 1/35 Katy is a great build to work on before laying down my airbrush next week. I really want to turn this project into a diorama in due course, a tribute to women serving in medical work in the desert campaign #HistScaleModels #ScaleModels
