A wee art Shop Lynxhead up the road in #Dunbar has started stocking some hobby stuff, and I decided to take the monkey in to get some paints of her own - honestly she’s painting daft, loves the paint pots themselves, and the picking her next colours. Reckoned - she’d really like having a set of her own. Mind, she’s not there yet and this is very much a Hobby parent indulging themselves and their Daughters notions.

Well, if I didn’t just have the absolute best of experiences.
I let herself pick her own colours from the rack and look around, and chat to me about what she was doing.
The shop owner is a dote - engaged in chat with Monkey, and when she realised these were *actually* paints for the small person, she went got her one of the free Miniatures so she’d have something to paint.

Wish I could bottle the happy contented walk to the car, holding her bag with a few paints and sprue, and the drive home - telling me what colours she had, telling me what parts their were on the sprue “trousers, arm, cheese*”, and that she was going to “build it”. Got home and burst into the house to tell her Ma, proceeded to spend the evening building and painting happily.
*cheese is the inferno flamer a space marine his carrying.
