I returned home from Edinburgh yesterday evening at 8pm after a hectic but enjoyable Stag weekend.

I walked in the door, put down my bag and my phone rang. My Grandfather "Sean Browne" - 95yrs old - has died.

A fair innings by anyones standard. Tomorrow I am heading to Ireland for the Funeral. I don't really feel like uploading pics of the Stag party right now, so here is one of the late great Sean Browne.

Oh bless him. No matter the age. It is always a sad event. I hope you can all celebrate his life as well as grieve.

Thanks Jude. He had a very interesting life. He was the most independant bloke you could ever meet. He did his own thing and never suffered fools. I am sure we might have a few guinness and celebrate a little.

I find it interesting, in the series of thumbnails, to see your grandfather, and then to see an almost identical image of you, two frames away. Nice words about Sean; thanks for sharing with us, Sam.
