Texas, England, Germany, and Wales

England and Texas. The Blogging visits now include readers from Midland in the United States of America and Worcester in England. The majority of the visits come from England, but the USA also makes a fair contribution.

It is nice to see the locations where the Bloggers come from, start to spread. The Countries and the Cities list is now quite extensive. Maybe I can place a full update on-line in the weeks ahead, that show where readers have been located since I started the Blog some time ago.

Although I do have a lot on at present. "The Beast" is back from her extended journey across Europe (see previous blogging), the bathroom at our flat in the City is nearly finished with the new more powerful fan and the new bath shower screen due to be fitted this Thursday. My current artwork needs the finishing touches now that I have researched some sound images of the medals worn by the recipient. An ongoing piece of art involving a Hyundai i30 needs some more ink detail and then a watercolour wash.

The oil painting of the Range Rover needs a lot of work and that will be set aside for this winter. Another winter project is a 2' 6" by 2' n gauge railway that I am building. I have made the base board and designed the triple layer track layout, but now need to build the fixing boards at the various heights in order to lay the track. I also have several untouched models to build along with two significant commissions. My piece that was recently published in The Times has spurred me on to return to writing.

Along with all of this, I also read every day. Some of the reading builds on my Social and Economic Science Masters, while other bits are either general interest or military or bravery related. I often have between three and five books on the go at any one time. Only today, I finished two books that I have been reading for a while. One of these books was on the memoirs of a German Field Marshall, and the other was about recipients of the George Cross. I'm also reading a book about Welsh Battles, and am about to start a book on the Spanish Civil War. Along with an interest in Welsh History and Owain Glyndwr. The Spanish Civil War is something that I have not previously read about so it is a particular good 'look forward to'.
