As the title says happy new year for 2026, apologies for the late start to this year’s blog … still suffering with motivation - I did think I had sorted that after our new year travels.
So since the last blog we have been to visit my brother’s family in Denmark (no claims of sovereignty there). A jolly splendid time we had there too!
We had a wander around Roskilde and found Kelsor game shop (where my brother and nephew picked up some paint and Raven guard) and the cathedral.
The following day we had a walk along the beach and …
… found a Danish fort from WW1 - Mosule - which they they weren’t involved in, although they did give the name to the largest naval battle of the war. It was closed, but looks if they do some educational stuff in the summer. I do like a good fort!
While in Denmark we played a few games - Skip Bo - a fun card game, mainly luck based but good fun. We also played a couple of Deckscape “escape room” card game. We played the fate of London and curse of the sphinx - while the games were good fun, although some of the clues were too complicated, cryptic and just silly which did take the edge off of the experience. We might try the Kosmos Exit games to see if they are better.
The sunset on New Year’s Day. New Year’s Eve was a demonstration of how much money the Danes are willing to spend on fireworks - a good 40 minute display at midnight from private households in a small town … sorry no pictures was too busy going Oooo and Arrr trying to stay warm.
My nephew has got into 40k and was keenly painting his Christmas presents of Shark Daddy and carcharodons space marines from Majorminis. A very neat painter he is too. When I got back I did make a little progress on a Drakon and the Confrontation Goblins. So I picked up a little inspiration.
Steedo and my good self also managed a game of Raiders of the North Sea with BUTR (boy up the road) and his good lady … a tight win for Steedo and a close game overall.
Out on the moor this weekend and the annual Twilight Imperium game the next … all go here now we are back to work.
