Why's the Camcorder Never Around

In the room where you need it?
Some of you will know we're plagued by pesky, grey squirrels 
, and some of you will also know how we usually deal with them , but we may not need to much longer
I was watching the bird tables & feeders this afternoon, we'd got the usual assortment, 
s, blue & great, greenfinches, sparrows, dunnocks, our two nesting robins, the courting, collared doves and a solitary wood pigeon sitting on the fence patiently waiting his turn on the large table.
A tree rat sneaked through the purple sprouting bed & jumped up on the large table frightening off the robins 
. The wood pigeon took great umbrage, flew over & caught the tree rat a lovely clout on the head with its wing knocking it off the table & sending it 
for next doors garden, where their dog pounced on it 
.
Now if we could only tempt the buzzard we've seen soaring on an updraught, life could be very sweet

No 1 grandson is now taller than me 
in fact he's head and shoulders taller than me and No 2 grandson is getting there. The worst thing is tho' they now both take a larger size shoe & so I can't borrow their Converses
Still, I have a cunning plan, No 1 grandaughter should be putting on a growth spurt soon

Finally
Posted Feb 14, 2007
It's taken a year, but we've finally found a lovely place to scatter Mom's ashes. It's a woodland burial ground just south of Redditch with views as far as the Brecon Beacons.
It's taken so long because Mom didn't leave any instruction other than 'Just find a nice place and do it.' This left Pa, my brother and me in a bit of a quandary. There are so many places that we've visited and have great memories of, some of them from when bro and I were young, when our dad was alive, before Mom met Pa, and since.
We finally decided to go for an area Mom knew before any of us knew her and then found this place in the middle of the area.
It's somewhere she used to visit as a young teenager when the 'in' place to meet was the local cycling club. Mom could never master the art of riding a bike and couldn't see well enough to anyway, so she went out with a local lad who owned a tandem! She went out with him until she was old enough to go dancing and then dropped him.
