The photo pose was staged that way as Munchkin kept wandering off and was not interested in Daisy or posing for a photo in the slightest!!
I can't remember exactly what was wrong with Munchkins eye but her eyeball was being pushed out, they thought she may have a tumour but luckily it wasn't and she is much better now and pain free, she has recovered so well bless her she's only tiny

Here are some photos of when Daisy was with me recently on a trip to Bletchley Park. Milton Keynes

Bletchley Park played a major role in code-breaking in World War2 which shortened the war by 2 years and saved the lives of over 14 million people.
After the war most of the equipment was destroyed and those who worked there had to sign the official secrets act so could tell no-one of their work.
Much of their work was in breaking Hitler's "unbreakable" Enigma code machine, and break it they did, despite there being 159 million million million ways of encrypting it. Alan Turing played a major part in this by designing the Turing Bombe which vastly speeded up decryption.

There were many different types of German Enigma machines. The code for each changed daily.


Daisy was lucky to be allowed to press the keys on one when it was unlocked from the glass case for a demo


Daisy also saw Japanese Enigma machines. The code-breakers not only had to break the codes but had to learn to speak Japanese first. There were particular difficulties with the Japanese code-breaking as they didn't use the same alphabet system as their language is made up of symbols.



There was so much to see at Bletchley Park in several huts. (we missed viewing of the film The Imitation Game (2014) included in price, and further on site , Colossus the first computer ( for a small extra fee). There is also a mansion and a pretty lake.

Daisy with German Army and Air Force Enigma machine ( German navy had a different one- harder to decipher)

I have lots more photos of Daisy at Bletchley but will have to add them tomorrow as I can't seem to upload any more today for some reason.

Great photos of Daisy thanks Sue Bletchley Park looks great just going to try and put some of the photos onto Daisy's Facebook page

Thanks Foofy.

Here's Daisy doing a bit of rabbit topiary near my front door

[Foofy]

A great photo of you doing the topiary Daisy

I haved just posted the rest of your photos from Bletchley Park onto your Facebook page.

Thanks Foofy

Wow - bletchly park looks really interesting!

I've seen the Immitation Game, it was so sad what happened to Turing after the war - a loss of one of the great minds of the era.
