About Me

alastair: Surrey, United Kingdom; A 50 something dad and wargamer. I've been playing with toy soldiers for longer than I can remember [I blame my parents for buying me a toy fort when I was little!] I'm originally from Glasgow but have lived in London/Surrey for 30 odd years [very odd in some cases!] and toil away at the gritty coalface of Charity Sector middle management. https://bsky.app/profile/red3584.bsky.social
