5 cousins in Scotland


Visit to Milngavie, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.

On Friday night we took advantage of now living relatively close to Gran and Uncle Campbell, so we wizzed up the mortarway for 24 hours to Milngavie. Terrific, with a high getting the 5 cousins together for the first time in a long while. A few pics here.....

New Year Walk to Belstone


New Year Walk to Belstone, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.

On Saturday 2nd Jan we had our now 'traditional' New Year walk (started in 2006 see here) with friends to the Tors at Belstone, starting this time from the Bol's home in Okehampton. This year we were also joined by the Cunninighams. The weather was I think the best I can remember, high pressure, icey yet lots of sunshine too. We ended up at Tom and Sarah's home and after a cuppa and a slice of cake we drove home. Lovely time, thanks all. A few pics here from me and here from Tom.

Travelling on from Walsall, after visiting the Ebners and Cunninghams in Taw Green, and Lesley in Oke, we spent New Years eve staying with the Chadwicks and were joined by the Bols, the Bells and the Purslows - a lovely evening thanks to all. New Years day was beautoful sunshine and we had fun with Juls Max and Jodie, which included a roast lamb, some rock and roll ( as pictured), a trip to the Kings Arms and a visit from the Johns family. Thanks Juls! A few pictures from the day can be seen here. Thanks all!

A visit to 36 Brookhouse Road

On New year's eve I took the family to visit my Aunty Sylvia (my late Dad's youngest sister), Uncle Derek and cousin Robin in Walsall. Congratulations to Aunty and Uncle for reaching 50 years of marriage - terrific. It was great to catch up after 3 years (last time Helen could not walk!). Everyone seemed really well and it was lovely to see my children running around the same garden as I did 35 years earlier. A few pictures here.....
