Happy New Year Everyone!

And I don’t know what everyone else thought about it, but 2024 will not go down as the greatest year we have ever had frankly. And here I am talking generally about the state of the nation for what it is. With the arrival of the worst government er… probably ever, the ‘managed’ decline of a once great country accelerated to warp speed literally overnight. I could elaborate this into a weapons grade rant, but I am not going to as most of my last entry was a fairly hefty rant about that horrendous Jaguar commercial that ruined my day. So, for now, let’s just say, 2025 simply has to be the year when we see at least a sign that sanity will be restored soon-ish.

This year I am hoping to attend shows in towns and cities that I haven’t ever been to for a Comic Con or I haven’t been to for at least a couple of years, unless of course, I link up with fellow Dwarfers at some of the bigger shows as we have done in ’24 at Liverpool and Edinburgh. Whatever happens, I really look forward to seeing you sometime, somewhere in 2025! And I do believe that my first appearance of the year will in fact be at…….

WIGAN COMIC-CON February 8th Robin Park Sports Centre

During 2022 I became an Ambassador for Nature’s Haven whose mission is to enable the community to access and learn about the therapeutic and health benefits of gardening and nature and I would like to extend my thanks to all of you who have donated to this forward thinking, Not-For-Profit organisation. For more information please go to www.natureshaven.net or Instagram natures.haven.garden

I will continue to support small local charities directly, including those which support veterans and ex-servicemen and women. I believe that the treatment by the State of those who have been prepared to pay the ultimate price has been nothing short of shocking.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Best Wishes

Chris Barrie
