Tim To the Rescue

 

Not that these two crew needed rescuing!!

In the bookshop at the British Library there is a series of books called "The Adventures of Tim", in beautiful mid-twentieth century colouring. It makes me wonder whether that's where Dominicus got his name.

They are classics and I know Tim would have loved them.

Tim was brave, and the best person to have with you if you were at sea on a treacherous boat, lost in the desert, or marooned on a rocky island.

"The Captain would tell him about his voyages and sometimes give him a sip of his grog, which made Tim want to be a sailor more than ever."

Vale Dominicus Helmut Alexander Mueller. 1952-2012
