This brings back my days with the South Downs Astronomical Society, John Mason and all. I was only a (small) part of it for a short while but at that time, I was mad for astronomy. These days I cannot even find my way around the night sky. Senility has set in.
 When I'm rich, I'm going to get me a decent telescope ... funny, I was saying that thirty years ago. Where does the time go?
