Young At Heart

LILY & ROSE

Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!

Cakes a go go!

WHERE ARE YOU CRAIG?

WHY HAVE YOU NOT COME ROUND?
WOULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN A KIND, NEIGHBOURLY GESTURE TO GET ROUND HERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE?
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE NEXT DOOR TO YOU ARE PLAGUED BY MICE?
ARE YOU EVEN BOTHERED?
GET IT SORTED OR I'M GOING BACK TO THAT NICE MAN FROM THE OTHER PEST CONTROL PEOPLE.
AND YES - I AM SHOUTING!

    Wow - you're on a roll now!
    I thought I might re-read some John Steinbeck. Now what could I start with I wonder?!

    After Craig the Mouseman "The Grapes of Wrath" perhaps? Or might it be "The forgotten Village"?

    Evening of a hot day started the little wind to moving among the leaves. The shade climbed up the hills toward the top. On the sand banks the rabbits sat as quietly as little grey, sculptured stones. - Good stuff eh?

    Slly me!
    No seriously I knew it - I should do it was one of my A level texts - and one that I actually read, unlike Bleak House for which I relied solely on Coles Notes!!!

    I relied on my dad's Tandberg reel to reel with the microphone set next to the TV speaker to record the stuff I was learning. I'm thinking in particular here of the BBC Shakespeare which did "Twelfth Night" in 1974 ('O' Level text). I would would go to sleep at nights with the headphones on and ended up being able to recite just about the whole of the 4th Act. I mention this only because Monty Python had just started its last series (without Cleese) at the same time and I used the Reel to Reel to record those too...and I had the likes of "The Golden Age of Ballooning" off pat...which is why I didn't do as well as I should have done at school no doubt.,,,,because Sir Toby Belch whose hair "hangs like flax on a distaff" could never hold a candle to "First ascent in a hot-air balloon, by the Montgolfier brothers - 1783 .. · I can see us now... just after Montesquieu and just before Mozart", They were on the same reel together.

    Hey - how young are YOU! Only doing 'O' levels in '74? Makes me feel ancient! I was in the second year at Westminster by then!!
    Brilliant tale though. I've often thought about subliminal stuff like this but was never convinced that it would actually work. Just think of the hours of revision I could have saved. I could have been out having fun and then done all my studying at night! Not that my parents would have agreed with that. They'd probably have chained me down in a padded room wth my books and told me I wouldn't be getting out until I knew it all.
    Clearly your dad had a more progressive attitude!
