| Nice pictures Dpack. The robin is very much in charge in the yard. It was shouting defiance at another Robin on Sunday, and also popping into the shed in defiance of my prohibition. We have been chatt ... |

My mother was brought up in Forest Gate. She claimed to be a Cockney, but Dad said the wind would have to be blowing a gale in the right direction for her to be one.  |

| Your grandparents did very well then. My mother was one of 7 and 4 survived to full adult hood with one other dying I think in her late teens or early 20s. They did live in London though. Two of them ... |

| You must either have a very large family or have collected them from all over the world. I thought the Canadian branch of my family was pretty large, but you have certainly outdone them by a very larg ... |

| The first Jack Russell I met was charming. She was bought for ratting, but preferred stones or trouser legs. It was in the days of flares, so she used to love to play by grabbing the trouser leg, and ... |

| Good to see so many rehomed. Jack Russells are a difficult breed; I have known two lovely ones, but still wouldn't trust them with a baby or small child, but one a neighbour had was a vicious thing. W ... |

| We may have a new robin in the 'yard' in the woods. It seems to be a young one as it is quite tame. It likes the crumbs from my home made biscuits, and yesterday, for a moment, sat on my knee. It won' ... |
