It's Spring time in Much Rampling......

[Doug ex-em4]

Yes, Spring has arrived in Much Rampling. Birds are singing, buds are opening, sap is rising. Morris dancers frolic on the village green whilst Constable Bedworthy languidly admires the ancient statue of Sir Roger de Leominster.





What could possibly go wrong...?

I'm sure we are having a longer winter for a special reason  I would to be in Much Rampling though

I'd like to see you frolick here in Winnipeg(Canada).  -20 at night and 3 feet of snow still on the ground.  Grumble grumble. . .

Cool terrain and photos though.

Let's see some more please! Is that the base of the Hovels' buttermarket that the statue is sitting on?

Yes it is - you can't get away with anything here....

I'm off to Windsor for a couple of days *castle etc) and will add more upon return...

Thanks for comments...

I like it; good thinking! The collective mind of the LAF must contain knowledge on every wargaming component ever created!

[Mason]

Gotta agree, good use of scenery there, Doug.
I like that circular plinth.
Clever.


I think I recognise some of the other items, too....

Lovely pics.  I especially like the fella pearling out.


And the farm.


I have a soft spot for those Morris chappies, considering getting some more for some weapon variety. Mine are slightly less jolly than yours

Great looking town, and figs.

Constable Bedworthy's comfortable relaxation is disturbed by a feeling that something is not quite right. The dance of the morrismen has changed. It no longer looks like any morris dance the constable knows and he's something of a connoisseur. They are dancing closer and closer to him, so much so that he can feel the wind of whirling sticks as they pass close to his head. And surely today's dancers were supposed to be the famous morris side from Nether Winslet - these look nothing like them. In fact, they hardly look human at all, with their blank expressions and staring eyes.




Just then, he hears his name called sharply from the other side of the green. Turning, he sees the Squire, Sir Rufus Pitt-Bulstrode emerging from his gatehouse. The old gentleman is carrying his sporting rifle but there's nothing particularly unusual in that.
"Bedworthy, come hear a moment would you? And just stroll over as you would normally - no hasty movements. There's a couple of people down from London that want to speak to you. And try not to draw the attention of those morris dancers....."
