I was sure that with your name you must be from Holmfirth

Skypurr - Not too far off the mark.  I grew up in Huddersfield near Holmfirth.  Firth is a common name in West Yorkshire. 

I know your part of the world very well having honeymooned in the area and returned for family holidays - check my comments on your Kirkbean event.

Hi - Its me again.

Just to add a few further details.  I live in Knaresborough, a town with a medieval royal castle (in ruins) so I guess this inspires the interest in the Knights/Medieval sets.  Seehttp://www.knaresborough.co.uk/castlefor more details.  I reckon WarriorOfToys will get a thrill from this.  I would quite fancy recreating the castle in PM but that would involve a serious investment.  For anyone interested in castles I would recommend "Castle: A History of the Buildings that Shaped Medieval Britain" by Marc Morris.  It ties in with a tv programme made for Channel 4 in the UK.

It seems Playmofire is a near neighbour.

You live in a nice place, but you had me fooled! I thought you lived in Holmfirth, in West Yorkshire!    :lol:   :-[

a warm welcoming hug from the sunny mountains of Switzerland :)

I must add that I'm an addict of Channel Four for that programme, it's really great when you like history :)
I don't wanna grow up!

Hello and welcome from the Scottish Highlands! :wave:

When I see your username I think of bodies of water. There are a lot of firths up this way but the closest to me is the Moray Firth. :)

Have fun at PlaymoFriends!
