A New Gang in Town

Investigating rumours of treasure hunters in the area, a group of intrepid explorers enter a newly discovered tomb...



...only to find it empty!  But wait!  Has Scotty discovered a clue among the discarded crates?




Actually, these are the very kind gift +James Brewerton brought with him today when he interrupted his holiday to have lunch and give The Wife and I a painting masterclass.  Any resemblance between us and the figures is pure conjecture.  Apart from anything else, I'm not allowed a fez.

    That was very nice of James, giving you those figures and providing a painting lesson for you both.

    You're not allowed a fez? That's a shame

      It was extremely nice of him. One of several acts of kindness I've met from people through the blog.

    I have a nice Solar Topee that, strangely enough, The Wife approves of.

    Nope, a fez or nowt! I used to have one brought back from a holiday by a friend, but Young Henry's confiscated it.

    That new set up looks better each time, keep the pot boiling!

    Just in case, I want to make it clear that I DO NOT WANT anyone to send me a fez, thank you ;-)

      Yes great! We were very pleased with the Boy Reporter and Canine Companion.

      Much better pictures on James' blog, but I imagine you'll have seen them.

    What a fabulous addition to the collection, but I know have a hankering for a fez!

      Every gentleman (such as your good self) needs one.

      I refer you to the picture of Dr Watson on my previous fez post.

    Wonderful stuff you lucky chap!

    Not being allowed a fez is surely something you can report to the police. It must be an infringement of your rights or something. If it isn't then it's time to start a campaign.
