Listening to the Archers recently it appears that Britain’s post-Brexit agricultural economy will be based largely on small scale, local artisan produce.
In my opinion this is no bad thing, but national self-sufficiency wherever possible is still highly important in these days of the increased danger of potential cyber-shutdown of Just-in-Time supply systems.

I just spent today driving to Wellingborough to collect some generously donated industrial grade shelving from Chris Kemp (blog at http:// notquitemechanised.wordpress.com)
Although I did not have the opportunity to meet Chris, looking around his wargame store room I can testify that he is one of the most organised gamers that I know. He is also lucky enough to have enough kit that his models don’t need to swap their identities between battles! I struggle to find enough of the correct models for any given engagement.
On the other hand, Chris seems to be able to concentrate on one campaign at a time, while I flit about like a flittery, fluttery thing.
My workbench…
I used to be almost organised before my collection outgrew the walk-in wardrobe in our spare bedroom (see picture below). Hence the need for shelving for my shed.

On the way home I took the opportunity to call in at my old office to meet half a dozen former colleagues and chat about old times. It seems that the old IT supply and planning system that I used and supported for over 25 years, and due to be phased out in 2014 when I took redudancy and early retirement, is still alive and possibly even kicking.
And from there, the familiar old 70 mile, 2 hour drive home that I used to do every day.
All in all, a tiring but interesting day.
