Brothers

So today was my birthday.  I finally reached what should have been state pension age, but a previous government pushed that back by a year, so there's another year still to go.  That also means that I don't qualify for a bus pass yet, as the local arrangement only gives you a free bus pass when you reach state pension age.  Still I am not complaining.  The recent trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos showed that there is still life in the old dog yet :-)

To celebrate another year, members of my family very kindly joined me to help ease the pain of accelerating decrepitude  - including the two pictured. On the left of the shot is Incredibish my brother-in-law, and on the right is Brentastic - my brother.  The shot was taken post lunch and as you can see they are looking pleased with themselves :-)
