yes, I've noticed!!! 8}  :P

BTW, "wynd" is a good Northern word you don't see or hear often other than in some parts of the North.

What does "wynd" mean? :-[ I'm an American, I don't speak English! :lol:

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

It's an old-fashioned spelling of "wind" as in "Blow blow though winter wynd.." a song from Shakespeare's play "As You Like It" but in parts of North Yorkshire, notably Richmond, a wynd is a narrow lane in a town running between two properties.

In other parts of Yorkshire, it would be called a snickleway (York), or a ginnel (West Riding).  A more general name is an alley.

Edit:  However, I imagine that Emma is really using it as the old-fashioned spelling of wind.

Ensign, a no longer used rank in the British army but was originally the standard bearer.  Now refers to a flag, e.g. the Red Ensign.

Colonel, highest commissioned rank in the British army.

This is a lovely set-up with all the folks doing their things on a beautiful day. I am ready to jump in the water, too. Sounds like I will have lots of company!
Great use of the bases...it looks so real. Congrats on another fine build. Now if you could just do this for a living, life would be so nifty, wouldn't it! TTFN, Pgal :wave:
After two decades of male toys (esp. Lego and PM) in our house, it is time to build something for us women!
