A PINK DAY FOR A BOY WHO TRIED TO KEEP HIS 'PATIENTS' IN THE PINK.
Andrew Peter
Glanvill was born in Chard on the 2nd. January 1951 to somewhat
surprised parents. Although his father was a doctor, to date he had not had
much experience of procreation or child birth as everyone in Chard was related
and births occurred in fields, under hay carts or on the pub floor. Still
Andrew, who from now on wishes to be called Peter, arrived with out much
effort. To the delight of the local population, he brought the chance of a
small new gene pool into the town. (His mother was from Ilkley). Over the next
few years he trained to be a doctor and joined his father in the practice in
Chard dealing with the various complicated ailments associated with
in-breeding!
We had decorated the Old Grotto in Swildon’s with pink balloons that had LED lights in them and Alison Moody had made a cake with a camera on it! Better champagne was also waiting. In all around forty cavers turned out to celebrate. Pete as usual had a camera and video recorder to record the event!
Pete , very happy birthday and we look forward to many many more. You are a true caving character!
