hmmmm.... deffo my dad back in liverpool when i was 5 or 6 showing me the pole star and i am sure the "frying pan"(?)
him letting me stay up to watch the first moon landing was a highlight for me
then the "race into space" cards collected out of the tetleys tea
this was the late sixties and into the early seventies
then we arrived in perth in 73 and dad bought me my first telescope..... the obligatory 60mm tasco and actually it was the zoom version and when me dad realised that it was not the astronomical one he goT offered....... back it went to kmart ha ha!
happy memories!
will never forget "discovering" saturn one night i literally screamed the neighbourhood down and me dad had to tell me to "calm down" in a typical scouse accent!
