Happy Friday and Hello Mr Sundancer
Really scorching weather here in the UK at the moment so some music to suit that…
Hobby pledge – I’m thinking of painting something special from Warcradle this week
I was really well behaved last week and painted all 8 of the German Archers that I intended to do so its a bit of a treat this week.

Did you notice the badge?
Love the Badge!
Do you want any special thing/theme/topic on the next uHH?

Hi Anna, this is a photo of the photo of your grandad, Tom Spencer, who you never met, getting his pilots wings in WW2. The wings are in the photo frame at the bottom. The last raid he went on was a few weeks before, on Heligoland which was an island off the German coast which was a military installation with a massive flak battery that had been battering them as they went past for ages.
On VE day 1945 he was stationed on an airfield in Lincolnshire and they made a huge bonfire of everything that was not nailed down and plenty of aviation fuel. One man came back from the village on a bicycle and hurled it onto the fire and they saw the tyres burning
Who drank my coffee!?
You drank it, come on admit it.
Have a great weekend 🙂
