Andrew, you talked about my falcon looking like a thrush/Robin but in the black and white pic of your crest it looks more like the Hiroshima mushroom cloud than an oak tree!

I am just wondering if we are dying species.
Most young people don't seem to like old traditions. Then I suppose it's something you grow up with. |

At first I was amazed by the cellphone conversation. Then I realised I got my first in '95 and that Andrews daughter would only have been 2 or 3... Now I'm sobbing quietly!

I remember the phone at my grandparents' house.
