Really suprised it's still open, I thought GW had pulled most of its European shops and I'd have thought the Italian youth had better taste than to play anything GW produced.

You've just photoshopped out the crowd of eager buyers so we can see the company logo haven't you! You can't fool me, I recognize a photoshopped image when I see one  :P

Sad thing is, Leon was supposed to be in Luton. Took a wrong turn at Hull.

Another wargame shop on the high street - good news story. That reminds me, I need another detail brush.

FK - is that your photograph of GW in Florence? If so, can you recommend any good restaurants there? My wife and I were there years (and years) ago and the only one that was both good and reasonably priced (for Florence that is) that I recall was the Cinghiale Bianco (The White Boar).
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

There was a pleasant place in a small square on the other side of the Bridge of Sighs. Fish soup, gnocchi with shredded duck topping, and lots more. Also an amazing house mix; I really didn't think I'd ever hear Westminster Cathedral again! But I don't recall the name. It was on our way from the Baptistery to see the Brancacci Chapel.
We based ourselves in Siena, just doing day trips to the rest of Tuscany. There is no lovelier city on this planet, in my by now far from limited experience.

Thanks. Like you possibly(?) we used the rail network, using Florence as a base with Sienna for the day and Pisa at the end. I know which bridge you mean. If you recall the name, be sure and let me know. Regards.

Was going to say that's obviously a 'shop.  But actually it's more of a stall.
