Ruth MacGregor retires after 31 years!














































BBQ at Rose Cottage!

















Sonja and Nick, what a lovely BBQ you held for everyone. Mother and I counted 24 people in total! Well done and thanks for a lovely evening.

Extended family from the US






















Cutie pies!







Hancock Museum, Newcastle!







Bouncy castle fun with Sarah (US Second Cousin)

Mother has managed to buy a pink bouncy castle from JL in the sale. Boys enjoyed it though. Even more fun with newly met second cousin.







New camera!

Noticeable improvement in pics with new S90.







Last day - Puzzlewood.




Got a wee bit lost but was lots of fun. Edward very sad to say goodbye to Lana and Lily.

Day 4 Tintern Abbey




We have ordered a small painting from an artist we met holding an exhibition in the old Tintern signal box.


Raglan Castle and the "children"







Waterfall fun!

Silly Uncle Neil (we were impressed though) tried to get behind the waterfall and got soaked. We all got wet though because the heavens opened on the way to the car up some enormous hill. I scooped William up and starting yelling with the icy rain and he kissed my cheek and said "don't worry Mummy". Bless him!

Also Day 3


Can anyone see Uncle Neil??

I am having fun!




Day 3 Some kerching cave thing


Show caves of Wales, £41 per family and you get a plastic dinosaur park with it. Children had a good time, "cathedral cave" was the most impressive.

Day 2






Day 2 Chepstow Castle


Day 2, Edward up with the "crow" of the neighbouring farm at 520am. Joined by Dubai Daddy in the kitchen for an early chat and a cup of tea. Off to Chepstow Castle, like where is the sun today? All packed Summer clothes, not good. Boys and the children loved the castle, I got totally freaked out by the high bits and the sheer drops.
