    im a very happy bunny :biggrin:

     

    Bruno fireside rescue dog who was seized in early march and put on the register last month was returned home today :elefant: :elefant: :elefant:

     

    he ran into the house at three hundred miles an hour only pausing briefly to slurp the baby before sitting by the biscuit tin :wub:

     

    his owners parrot screeched "bruno bruno come here" for three hours :wub: so i guess hes pleased to see his mate too

     

    lovely news :wub:

    Alicia, I'm pleased you've had a chance to chat with your brother :flowers:

    A week today I will be doing the mammoth 450 mile drive to see my sister in Cardiff, I'm so excited :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant:

  4. Yeh! What a surprise to see DB in Edinburgh! :laugh: He looks so slim since I saw him last Sandy!! :laugh: !

     

    My Grampa Eddie was an amateur astromer, photographer and lens maker, a very eccentric character who met with a very terrible end some 30 years ago :mecry: !

     

    However he showed John Brown (the astronomer royal) how to make his first telescope and fired the then 10 year old Johns enthusiasm by telling him tales of the stars and planets. John attributes his entire interest in astronomy to Eddie, which is quite an accolade indeed

     

    A few years ago my Grampa's death made the papers again (despite the fact it was 30 years ago) and whilst browsing for press stuff I came across an article by John mentioning my Grampa. Since then John and I have been in contact by email and phone, reminiscing and chatting about a wonderful (albeit completely batty!)man who we both loved dearly :wub:

     

    A few weeks ago we met for the first time and spent a lovely evening chatting which is when John invited me to Saturdays event!

     

    I really enjoyed the day, and was delighted to also meet with 2 other leading astronomers who spoke very highly of my Grampa! :wub:

     

    Tell DB if I bump into him again I'll give him all the gossip that I've left off here! :laugh: :laugh:
