A lovely tribute, and of the effect of such loss. Enjoyed reading, and thought of many maybe who haven't known such love.

That is so interesting. I looked up the photograph (found it under his sub-section 'Assimilation') and looked up about sociable weaver birds, so have learnt some! I wasn't sure about 'Out-dated rest points', does it just refer to the telegraph...
