Richard’s Grandad

Friday, 7th April 2006 by Alex

Richard found his Grandad!

I just managed to get Google Earth installed on my PC, and was trying to explain to my Grandad how it works. So I found his house - and lo and behold he was standing in his garden when the satellite went over. He’s the only man I know that gardens in a white shirt. This may only be interesting to the two of us, I know. But it made explaining it a lot easier - even if he does look up every time he leaves his house now…

Many thanks to Rich, and his Grandad too :-)
