Welcome
to your first ever Tribe Assembly, Nigel!
(Likewise,
welcome to his Dad, Ryan - but Nigel makes a much cuter photo!)
|
|
Great-Granddad,
Granny, Mom and Nigel - 4 generations on one settee!
|
|
While
Nigel works out who is cuddling him NOW, those gorgeous aunties get
in on the act.
|
|
We had
yet another lovely cream tea at the Lavender Farm (such creatures of
habit!)

Woody
came to say hello and Nigel had his first ride on a horse.
|
| Looking
at the sights with someone who has never seen them before lets one
see them with new eyes. The Island really is a very beautiful
place.
(I'll leave you to
decide if you think the back view is better or worse than the front
view!) |
For any of the
extended family who may not have met everybody in the photo above
here are their names from left to right: Ruth with husband Ryan,
Vincent, Lizzie, Kate, Rebecca, Dave, Eileen and Andrew. |

It came up in
conversation that my (Veronica) birthday has slipped past this year
as it happened to be the day I took Jen to the airport to go to
Harvard for the summer and I had carried on northward to get Tom
from Durham (via the Farne Islands - so it had its up side
too!). I did not expect for a second to find I had been
included in the August birthday celebrations to make up for
it!!! Thank you very much, all of you!

Ryan
also seemed very pleased to be getting a surprise gift too! |
|
Of course some presents were
particularly photograph-worthy. ;-)
