Like Tim I was entertaining my grandchildren yesterday, sorry I can't show you them as their father does not like them to be pictured on the net.
Sign of the times I'm afraid!!
We took them to the Royal Armourie's at Leeds, here are a few pictures I took on the visit.

Glad you had a good time Tee Gee. Shame we can't see your grandchildren, as you say, a sign of the times. :( I certainly don't blame their Father.
Great piccies, that last one is stunning, well done you :)
No falconry? it really is a good day out my lad got fed up i'd took him that many times. Them last two photos are brilliant.
