So we on the website will have a collection to buy you a flat cap and some pigeons
.That’s NORTH of the Humber – we’re Yellow Bellies around here – home of the BEST sausages in the country 🙂
There is a D&D group at Game in Scunthorpe – meets Thursday evenings
There was a group at Barton (upon Humber) but that was before the C19 – not heard if they are back or not.
Edit: FORGOT there is a computer gaming group (aimed at ‘youngsters’ but all welcome) on a Saturday in the library (that’s embarrassing as my son helps run it). (end edit)
There are plenty of gaming places to shop in Lincoln and Hull has a few – Scunthorpe is a little lacking (one SciFi / Collectables shop with a bit of GW) so paint etc is a pain (Boyes in Brigg / Barton have some Vallejo). Grimsby has a good shop near McDonalds note the M180 / A180 is a very noisy road.
The Scunthorpe town centre is a bit dead with the big Tesco / M&S and B&Q being close together by the football stadium and a big ‘The Range’ about a mile from here – the big Asda will be up the road from you. Library service good (ask for Press Reader access for lots of magazines) and the swimming pool in Scunthorpe is clean and warm. Phone service can be spotty – we get Vodaphone just and O2 a little better but you are closer to civilisation than us.
Oh yes – the water is very high in calcium (its ‘hard’) so you may need to change your soaps when you come (sorry been to many years since I was working your way to remember).
Hope the move goes well.
Hope the move goes well.
Cheers, still waiting on the legal shizz, but fingers crossed.
The mother in law will be moving in as she is properly ill and requires help around the house, which currently she does not get as she lives alone.
On the plus side, the house is big enough I get a dedicated games room, so once settled in expect regular games AARs and stuff.
The mother in law lives on the other side of Bristol to us and with her numerous illnesses and disabilities and her incurable but currently in remission cancer she needs someone to live with her to help her get by day to day and provide care, we have been trying for 4 years to get her sheltered accommodation near to us and nothing has come up.
So she needs to move in with us.
Charlotte was at a special school to help with her autism and other things, but the special school was actually causing her harm so we have pulled her out and she is being home educated again.
We need a house that:Is big enough for 4 people.
Has the facilities for the mother in law all on the ground floor, bedroom, living room, wet room and wc etc.
It needs to be closer to the mother in laws son, so he can help with the care.
It needs to be within commuting distance of Halifax for Samantha.
It needs to be quiet enough for Charlotte whilst not being too isolated.It needs to be big enough for Charlotte to have her own space, and for myself and Samantha, and space for the mother in law.
There are a lot of people with special needs to be factored in.
Having the mother in law move in so I can take care of her whilst also looking after Charlotte will be stressful as heck, so it was agreed that I get a hobby room to escape to when I need a break from being a full time carer for 2 people.It also needs to be within our limited budget and as we have accepted an offer on our house from a cash buyer, and with the market being as slow as it is, we need somewhere we can move into quick sharp.
There are of course other factors, but for the requirements and budget there are not many options.
I would prefer to live on an island off the coast of Scotland all isolated drinking rum and playing warhammer but thems the breaks!
Good luck!
Cheers!!

Check the traffic on Google maps at the time Samantha intends to travel.
We did.
Plus it is not daily so even if it is a bit longer then it is not the end of the world.
🙂
Could those that are local drop me a PM or e-mail or chat via FB or similar if you have a spouse that has related hobbies?
Samantha and I will be leaving behind everyone and would like to make friends and shared hobbies are a good way to start.TIA
I have arrived up t’ north.
Games room furniture is on order and hopefully in a couple of weeks it will be ready to game in.It is as with all things gamey, a constant WIP, but at least it will be functional.
I have never until now had a place I can leave things set up and come back to later, I am indeed very lucky.
I hope over the coming years to nerd it up in terms of decor, but for now a dedicated computer desk, painting desk and tabletop is the dream!!
At some point I will venture out and meet some of you northern types!
😀
