Great Grandfather's clocks


These guys were quite involved with their clocks today, comparing the numbers and realising theirs were different - some learning in roman numerals, family history - particularly interested in the ages of their great grandparents - mechanism of clocks - they found it all very interesting and then some time during the process, Timo lights up and comes out with "this is no ordinary clock". His eyes especially lit up when he realised he could change the time to "make the day last longer" which would mean he could "stay up later" in his mind. Caoimhe was more interested in turning the dial to change the big and small hands.
