Been a busy period!

Well, I'm back at the blog.  It's been a very busy period interspersed with lounging about in the sun.  It's every workings man right to lounge in the sun so I make no excuses! I have been to France to see my parents but especially my mum who has undergone a major operation on her lungs.  Keep up the speedy recovery mum!

Ollies been winning more Beaver badges, Flag carrying at the St Georges day parade and completed succesfully his Junior Divers badge -well done Ollie!

Happy Easter everyone, and look out at night for two space related happenings.  Late evenings you may see a shooting star or two, the remnants of the Lyrids meteor shower.  These will be visable until the 27th.  Also it's a good period for ISS sightings and you can check out the times of overflys on the sidebar info bar.
