I often think about Lawrence, loved his posts.
In particular as I walked past my raspberry patch yesterday I was reminded of the pruning tip he posted a few years ago, and one I follow diligently to this day, and it has resulted in us having a wonderful crop of raspberries every year since.
Please pass on my best wishes on becoming a grandfather.

Oh yeah, just the arm right. 'Cos you only need the arm right?

I've 'eard about your sort.

Back from holidays, and pleased to say that the trains thrown over a six foot gate by Parcel Force were saved by our neighbour (a Parcel Force employee) and his ladder, before the heavens opened last week, and they have survived their journey through outer space.

Now it's TV thriller season. Which one to watch first?

Is it catch up on 2 episodes of Vigil tonight, and then episode 3 live tomorrow, or do we do the same with Trigger Point?

(we always watch with subtitles enabled)

In 1990, my ship pulled in to Geraldton, Australia, alone, while the USS Midway battle group went to Perth. Unfortunately for us, Perth was only 90 miles away, so all the girls went there. All we had was a bunch of guys that wanted to party and drink, which was fine. At a party that the city hosted, when this song came up, everybody shut up and started singing.

If he's a proper grandfather, all birthday and Xmas presents for the next 5 years will of course feature a blue tank engine.. 

Yep, hands full now, that's for sure.
Congratulations, mate   

Congratulations to Lawrence.

For those who can recall the start of this auspicious forum, you may remember one of the original Mods was Lawrence. I'm happy to say the poor chap became a grandfather yesterday to a grandson, Alexander.
I say 'poor chap' because it won't be too long before the babysitting becomes a reality
