Somewhat addicted to Robert E. Howard books before my teens - especially Conan and King Kull. There were vast numbers in each series, especially as L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter carried on where Howard had left off. Thus the first dog that was all my own was named after Conan the Barbarian, long before Mr Schwarzenegger assumed the role
I shall give you a great dog of Ireland...
Here he is when we were first settling into the new house, with 40 tons of topsoil needed to turn what was a London Clay field into a garden. That's all turf.
And the new pond that needed the yellow irises
That's me in the car dealer's anorak
And in the same series of faded photographs, I found out where...
...an American cartoon artist got the inspiration for Chuckie (from Rugrats).
Brother #3 with Mum, smoking.
