French Regiments in North America 1755-63,

 Another project that I have been working on is painting up my French troops both from RAFM and Revell Germany 

The French government only sent 12 battalions to reinforce their colonies during the war. This means I dont have to paint up several hundred figures but since 1989, I have been working on the force.

Look for more in 2022.

I have previously done some posts on these units collectively but will be looking at each unit with some historical information.

2015-2020: 5 years since moving back to Nova Scotia

 This had definitely been a very unusual year, one which fits the cliche of the history books. This picture fits my mood, an open road, with an unknown destination but one which may lead to an interesting future. I'm going to keep a positive attitude

The Covid 19 Pandemic, not since 1945 has the world been so shaken

The Portipique to Enfield massacre, resulting in 23 deaths

However it has been a time to really reflect on what we have, and what changes we have to do in our society.

My children have been off school since March, my wife has been able to work the entire time, and I've been laid off twice.

As time progresses, I shall add to this.

And oops, I thought I action published this in August of 2020. In that time  I've switched jobs twice and gone back into one company on a new site.

Christmas week 2021

 Another Christmas in Covid, but must remember to be thankful. I am in a better place this year mentally than I have been for awhile 



My kids playing in an earlier snowstorm 
The Joy's of snow shoveling 
Our little tree, a few gifts 
the stockings are hung in different spots every year 
And with the Omnicron issue, the Christmas season got even smaller with more restrictions but it is still Christmas
