Dawn and Ian are on the hunt for their next sibling. I don’t know if it’s the balmy weather or the cocktails but I’m finding that Alicante is a genuinely friendly place.

A Thing or Two
Posted by Dawn Jones on July 26, 2007
Sitting in that hospital room way back when, gingerly eyeing the list for the first time, I saw Carston’s name and I just thought “Yes”.
Don’t ask me why. I often get a sense of a sibling from the name alone and I’ve never been wrong yet. Roger Logg - nice in small doses. Snowy Saltamentes - lovely but deceased. And so on.
Carston Whelk - knows a thing or two. I’ll stake my life on it.
Love & Light,
Dawn

Life’s a Beach
Posted by Ian Jones on July 26, 2007
What a beautiful place this is. Palm trees, blue sea, blue sky, beige beaches.
It reminds me of the terrain I made for Eddie Macca for his civilian-level UK-based Starship Troopers campaign, where the bugs had made it to earth and the players ran forces of tooled up South Coast pensioners. I never played in the game, but the terrain required a lot of fine-grain talus and deft use of PVA to make waves.
This is very, very similar. Except it was at 28mm scale and had a superimposed hex grid. And a very detailed replica of the Bournemouth Harry Ramsden’s.
