An ode to trees and greenery - Two Shelves of Gaming Episode 23

Greetings pod listeners and welcome to another one man stream of conscious podcast. I'm dusting off a file that's a few months old having recorded this in the light and heat of Slovakia over the summer. Initially I was just doing this as a way to get the creative juices going with regards an article I was planning on writing for a wargames mag. Alas, the creative writing juices are still dammed up so I thought I'd at least upload the tortured trickles. This episode is a meandering trek through my thoughts on scenery and terrain pieces in wargaming, and my love of miniature trees, hills and rivers. Something that probably goes back to my old model train set and the fascination of seeing things come to life by the judicious addition of some greenery. Also in the past day the tragic news has come in that some maniac took a chainsaw to the tree in Sycamore Gap along Hadrian's Wall in Northern England. B*stard! It's a place I've visited a few times and its loss just goes to show how a tree, or lack of one, can change the mood. Sycamore Gap RIP. Let's hope someone can find a way of planting a decent sized on in the same location before too long.
