 Arthur is my Step-brother from my Mum's first marriage. His wife Marian, and boys Ian and Craig live about an hour's drive from Merlin's domain.
 This is my Grandfather Victor French. Unfortunately, I was far too young to remember him, but I assure you, that is NOT me on his knee..!

 This is the only picture this site that is almost risque! The place was Rottmest Island, just off the Western Ausrtralian coast. The year was 1962.
