    Enjoy Grandpa/Captain, she won't be still for long

    Aimed for a kiss this morning from my youngest granddaughter 9mths, got a head butt instead which knocked specs from my face, covered in drool as she bit my fingers, wild as heather and like all grandchildren an absolute joy

    Don't drink in Portsmouth boozers while you are down here Brian they send a large yellow van with the words emergency ambulance written down the side to take the late night drinkers straight up to the QA Hospital where they get bed and board for the night and breakfast in the morning

    Whats better than when you pick the phone up and a little voice at the other end says "Hello grand dad do you want to Skype"

    Hi Vernon
    I will not be in Southampton unfortunately, I do know the Juniper berry. used to be a good pub with many `artistes` from UCL entertaining
    The plane lands outside Soton in Eastleigh, my son will be waiting to take me home to his village in Hampshire.
    we will only be there all day Saturday, Sunday and Monday then flying back Tuesday so not a lot of spare time.
    Thanks for the idea anyhow.
    Cheers
    Brian
