Hello world!
We spent a great morning with Dad, at the Lea Rowing Club 2015 Regatta; boats, cakes, coffee, sandwiches, and REAL ROWING RACES.
Wonderful spring visit to Mum & Dad’s, with the sun out and the garden in full bloom. Coffees, chats, and some painting of the cupboards.
Great gathering this year – Amy, Evelio, Russel, Susan, Alexander are all over in London for Christmas,… plus Virginia & Glenny, Ed & Rumbie, Lori & Fred, and Wendy & I; lots of plans and lots of celebration.
We’ve just come back from a brilliant party at my sister-in-law-to-be’s family home in Nottingham. I had the pleasure of being the Mukwasha to my brother the Mukwasha for a Zimbabwean “Lobola” ceremony.
Sometimes it’s nice to pretend like it was 10 years ago, before the brood, before the busy busy. We had a great night out.
I must recommend Kenwood House in North London – a wonderful place to spend an afternoon relaxing.
Yesterday we all went to Moira Magnus’ wake. Moira would have been proud – everyone was making the most of life and enjoying good company.
Yesterday we all went to Jenny Guest’s wake. Everyone was there, and after the service we all went out to remember her.
Great evening – steak dinner for Valentines – cooked by me. This has become a ritual 🙂
A few shots of Dad – for what purpose I cannot remember.
A sunny, amazing adventure to Uncle Jay Rusling’s ranch in Oregon.
More shots of the holiday I wasn’t on. This summer I was busy playing drums with Adam Drake, Eddy PIttson and Alex Meadows.
Some nice shots from August 1995 of Rosamund Hall and Ginny Shearer.
