Thanks for staying in touch.

I'm probably going to settle for HB, btw, in the great 2b or not 2B debate.

I hadn't seen the photo before, except for that brief clip of it in the film. I came upon your site after watching the DVD again. I googled White Lodge, Angmering because I was curious to see what it looked like now and your page popped up.

My grandad left us a great legacy with those cinefilms and there's still more footage that hasn't been transferred to DVD yet. One of the main things I remember about him was that he loved new gadgets. I wasn't born in the cinefilm era but he was the first person I remember to have a video recorder and also the first to have a cordless phone. I remember him making one of us walk down the garden as he tried it out saying into it "Starsky… this is Hutch". So that phrase dates my memory there.

Cheers and keep the pencil sharp!

Have you seen this photo before? I don't know if your side of the family had a copy. Your father gave us all a copy of the DVD which was wonderful to see – strange too to see myself at such a young age especially as I was young before it was so normal for all families to video their kids. We all owe a debt to your very clever and amusing grandfather – I remember him and your grandmother very fondly. Great to know you've read some of the blog posts. I'm still debating the 2B question!

Best wishes too to you Andy and thanks so much for writing.

Very interesting photos. My Dad and grandparents are in the top one- I'm Peter Dale's son. I believe that was taken at Christmastime 1954 because my Grandad took cinefilm of the occasion and that has now been transferred to DVD. The home movie shows everyone posing for the photo and your toy train features in it too. Have you seen it?

My parents were in the Worthing area last weekend and they sent me a pic of your mother, who they said is doing very well.

Like the blog posts and share your enjoyment of pencils- 2B or not 2B? That is the question.

Regards-
Andy Dale
