Oh bummer!

It’s alright though. I caught a cold of some kind and am still a bit sick. No need to infect you with that!

The trip is going well though!

Some pics from yesterday and today, Ludlow Castle and Castle Conwy!

@cornixt Yeah, Little Shambles was pretty great. We walked around everywhere! Just passed by on the way home from dinner as well.

@Bale Aww, we’ll have to miss out on that spot!

The GW was cool though. Great diorama in the window. :ok_hand:

Great dinner tonight.

This looks like your having a great trip, are you feeling any better now?

Does this mean the pilgrimage to Warhammerworld is today?

The trip is going well! Certainly feeling better, some lingering congestion, but it’s not too bothersome.

The pilgrimage will take place tomorrow. :slight_smile:

All checked in to our place in Nottingham. Stopped at a Warhammer shop and a local game store.

The local game shop, Games Haven had an extensive library of GW publications (for reference, I guess?) including an old 3rd(?) Edition Rulebook!
