    I believe the donkey is either Saco Bono (a veteran of the Boer War) or Brutus – my Grandmother lived at Glenfinart 1909-1926 and I was just reading her memories of ‘A childhood in Argyllshire!’

    One of the star characters in Winnie-the-Pooh. (maybe spelt Eeyore, not too sure). A bit before my time too!

    Can’t really say.. a bit before my time ;) Where did “Eyore” come from?

    …wouldn’t be Eyore would it?
