If you want something to listen to, that is a true story, you could try listening to Kempton and the Duke. It is a comedy drama that tells the true account (see link) of disabled pensioner Kempton Bunton stealing Goya's painting of the Duke of Wellington from the National gallery in 1961. Sounds like fun and something to listen to while painting your miniatures. link It is 45 minutes long and will be broadcast at 2.15pm, BBC Radio 4. Tues 6th October. |

Hi Armand I don't think the Duke would have been amused but I'm petty certain Napoleon would have had a good chuckle. I will certainly have a listen to it anyway. |

Totally agree!. Well… Blücher ended under Napoleon as prisioner of war… and he managed then to ruin his Empire!. (smile)… not the same if Napoleon ended as his prisioner of war… directly to the firing squad!. (smile) Amicalement
