My dad's bookshelf, in fact, with books from *his* youth - Dickens, Encycl Brit, masses of classics (Dad took Greats at Cambridge), and top of the shelf Hong Kong government annual reports going back to God knows when, probably when Capt Elliott signed the treaty.

Oh, and the framed certificate on the left is my mum's induction into the Linnean Society of London.

Way to go, mother, and the rest of you, don't say you don't get a decent education on this blog.
