What's this Duster family you are all on about? I remember my parents talking about Red Duster - did he have left wing views or red hair? Or maybe it was short for Ethelred? After all, it would be a brave man who called a burly ship's mate Ethel ! |

Roger, that Red Duster must be a distant cousin to Yellow Duster...... Heather, you looked FANTASTIC.....good job about the soft focus lens though....... Doesn't Glen take of his tinsel when wearing a kilt? (thought I could see some of it in the photo? (Or was that NOT tinsel??) Merry |

Was he bending over at the time? Yes, I did take a large pot of Vaseline (not for Glen I hasten to add) for the camera lens. (And if you look closely - aargh - you can see that Glen is actually holding threads up above my head to lift the jowels) |

Roger's probably used to scrubbing the decks, dusting the crow's nest etc... We could play bingo at our census night party - and then tell the enumerator that the numbers selected were in fact our ages! |
