Just recently, it was mine and Mrs Haddock's 49th wedding anniversary, I thought a special day out would be in order. We went to York for the day, lunch at Gregg's ( we shared an egg and cress baguette ), bit of window shopping then fish and chips at Morrisons for tea.
When we arrived home, I noticed a blue box tucked down the side of the front door step, didn't take much notice really. When we got in there was a kit in a poly-bag shoved through the letter-box, obviously, the contents of the blue box.
Collected the box, put the kit in it and took them into the "model room". Then I checked my e-mails and answer-phone to see if there were any messages......... zilch.
It's a nice little kit of a K class submarine, they served in WW1, not very successfully. The scale is 1:350, there's even a dinky little etched brass fret.
No-one has owned up to it yet, so from whence it came I know not, methinks I may have a secret admirer, at my age, that could be exiting.
Haddock.
PS. Ignore the little chap in the photo, he's been watching me through the window, we're almost on first name terms now. Reminds me of Robert the Bruce and the spider. Robert the Bruce was a Scot of course.
