Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.

I could a tale unfold whose lightest syllable would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood. Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their orbits. Thy knotted and combined locks to part, and each particular hair to stand on end like quills upon the fretful porpentine.
Had to check the quote😬

I took advantage of the sunshine and persuaded Mum to go for a walk in the woods. Apparently, I wasn't the only one. There were lots of people out walking. But no one was having as much fun as me!

The Kaiser was allegedly furious that Cæsar walked before nine Kings in the funeral procession, but unfortunately that he quipped, 'Dogs first, Kings second.' seems to be a myth.
However, as John Ford observes 'Print the Legend.'
Does play into anti German pre war sentiment.

Hi, been doing some digging.
Cæsar seems to have been popular with the Public, to the point where Steiff produced a model of him, and with the fabulously wealthy, there is a Fabergé figure in chalcedony with ruby eyes and his trademark collar.

They were ready for cider making Bobby - very ripe and smelly! They were laid out like that in the orchard we visit - and we were very suspicious at first ….

Thanks for all this. A House of Fabergé tomb no less! Fascinating. I'd no idea he was so famous.

Thanks. I didn't know that. I'll see if I can dig any more..

Good Morning. Here is a postcard, by Rotary Photo, EC. The message on the reverse is dated May 1910.
It shows Cæsar, Edward VII's favourite dog. Presumably this was part of the commemoration of the King's death.
JRT 's don't seem to have changed much.

Fabulous. Very memorable time in the campsite.
Also did Aonach Eagach.
Wish I still could.
