Today was the day I expected hell to freeze over, The day when instead of talking the talk, my better half started walking the walk. She has for a while been saying she would like to get involved but I assumed nothing would ever come of it.
Well today I mentioned that as I was quiet on the work front Id take a trip over to Whitstable to visit East Kent Models and pick up a few items that were on my shopping list for the layout. Instead of just warning me not to spend too much (like I ever would..its not like im the kid in the sweet shop with a hand full of pocket money burning a hole) she came with me, and loaded me up with stuff to go on the layout. Mostly scenics and buildings. But also a few cars, vans and a bus for the layout.
Then when we got home I was dragged round to the artists shop in town to buy what she needed to make the scalescenes buildings I had downloaded! Ses sat in front of the tv. laptray on knees busy cutting and glueing her first attempt.
I even had to make dinner
Its enough to make me take up needle craft
Do anyothers share thier hobby with thier partner?
Does this mean no more nagging for playing trains
I think the visit to the Canterbury Model Railway expo inspired her, We're off to Dartford on Saturday for the Erith show!
