We flew back into the UK early on Sunday morning and two days later I still haven't fully recovered from the exertions of our holiday or the lack of sleep incurred on the flight. I have however been able to sort through nearly a thousand photo's (!) and here is a very small selection of the wonderful history we explored.

Now that we are home I have several gaming projects to kick start back into life. Several packs of models arrived while we were away and I have a couple of games planned for the next few weeks. Back to my less than normal life!
Soooooo nice pics Lee!
ReplyDeleteBeen home a week and I'm still editing the mass of photo's I took.

ReplyDeleteThank you. There are several hundred more just showing rubble or "holes in the ground" as my kids call archaeology.
