As you can see it's really very compact and lightweight, it folds out really easily and runs on little wax tablets which fortunately I was also given a good supply of to keep me going for a while and once you've got it lit it runs very well now I jsut need to get some practise lighting and using it.
I thought the little boxes that the wax tablets were in with instructions on were quite cool but, I took the precaution of taking a photo of the side with the instructions so I cna laminate it and not worry about the box getting wet
The one down side of the trip was that I realised when I got back that my old Policeman who I've had since I was a child was missing
I can only blame myself I thought I'd done a head count and counted everyone but, clearly not but, we had plenty of time waiting for our first bus home when I could have got the guys out and checked if I'd had realise dat that point I could still have run back and searched since the site was only about 5 minutes away. I think I have a fair idea of where I left him on the site and I've contacted the Farmer who owns the site and he says he goes up every day or two to check on his cattle so he'll look out and see if he turns up when the grass gets shorter so there may still be hope.
I'm not going to let it put a downer on what was otherwise a very nice break but, I feel rather sad and bummed out about it, I felt quite guilty about introducing my new Police guys to the rest fot he tema without their leader, also since I only had 3 figures left from my childhood and he was my oldest in fact I think one of my first memories was searching under my bed for his Police cap (I never found it in all the years since) and I think that getting back into collecting Playmobil has really strengthened the bond between us, I hope someone hasn't found him and stuck him on a BBQ and that nobody's been kind and decided to adopt him although at least that would mean he'd have a loving home and that he'd be safe and warm and dry at least the one good thing I can say is that at least I got a chance to make some happy memories with him these past few years and take some photos of him hopefully he's enjoyed himself as well.
