It was certainly around when I was growing up in the early 70s anyway. It's a beautiful old thing in its own little lockable walnut cabinet with lots of different lenses and bits and bobs. Somewhere we've got a modern one (I think from national geographic) but it wasn't a patch on Dad's. It's very hard to take photos though.Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07687396611385234783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13614584.post-55342696282383955392009-05-12T13:20:00.000+01:002009-05-12T13:20:00.000+01:00Sorry to hear your really sad news Nikki. Bigs hugs to you and your family.<br /><br />Love all the educational stuff - good for Emily to even be thinking about her future. Vet - wow, I heard it's tougher than becoming a doctor, but well worth it. <br /><br />The microscope piccies are brilliant. We have an ancient microscope that we found lurking in my grandma's cupboard years back. Looks great but is hopeless at magnifying! Where did you get yours? Chemistry link looks good. Ben's into all this but we hardly use our Cambridge chemistry set as he didn't find the experiments that interesting - shame.<br /><br />Take care. Thinking of you.Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04334015743245835661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13614584.post-75328042189209551072009-05-11T21:39:00.000+01:002009-05-11T21:39:00.000+01:00Hi Nikki,<br />Sorry - a lurker unlurking to possibly bring something to your attention! :o)<br /><br />I hope you don't think I'm being presumptuous, but when I was surfing round the home ed blogs, I clicked on Emily's Facebook tag and it looks like her profile is set to public, with anyone (not just friends) being able to view everything on it. Wasn't sure if it's intentional, but thought I'd let you know in case it was something you weren't aware of and wanted to change.<br /><br />Frankie<br />xx<br /><br />PS Hugs for all the family rubbishness :o(Franceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11683580600671259753noreply@blogger.com
