Is that Criffel on the skyline? Up it many times when I lived in Dumfries - great view to the south.

Mary Tyler Moore in the Dick Van Dyke Show. Also the girl in the Dippedy Doo hair something advert (gel?).

Six of my seven are Odysseys. I got a bit obsessed with translation (maybe still am). I think Walter Shewring is my favourite.
