Mark & Adele’s ‘Leaving Do’ before they leave for Australia.

Mark & Adele’s wedding was held at Ashcombe Maze on the Mornington Peninsula near Melbourne, and then the reception was held at the Moonah Links golf course, also on the peninsula.

Cheryl and Sunil’s Wedding in February 2010: The ceremony was conducted in the grand and picturesque Shendish Manor, Apsley, and was followed by the Wedding Breakfast there. 

Wedding continued: After Apsley, we were transported, some by mini-bus, all the way over to Slough for an evening of entertainment - Indian style.  Then, of course, some of us had to be bussed back to Shendish.

Sophie’s First Christmas, plus some ‘scene-setting’ pictures from the week.

A random selection of old family photos scanned from pre-digital prints.  This collection was the outcome of some reminiscences on Facebook, firstly about Mothers’ Day, and then about childhood.

Another random selection: pictures of Sophie taken on my mobile phone.

Christmas 2011 was spent, once again, enjoying the hospitality of Cheryl & Sunil.  As this was Sophie’s second Christmas, she was more aware that ‘something was going on’.  Needless to say, she was the centre of attention again.

In April 2012, we met our grandson, Henry for the first time in Melbourne.  In May, we celebrated his first birthday and Christening.

While we were staying in Mornington in 2012, Mark & Adele had just embarked upon looking for a new house to accommodate their growing family.  This album shows their existing house in Mount Martha, as portrayed by their estate-agents.  These are their pictures.

It didn’t take too long to find a new house in Mornington.  These are the estate agent’s pictures pictures.

Christmas 2012 saw us back in Kings Langley, chez Cheryl & Sunil.  Again, it was a very pleasant afternoon.

A small album, mainly pictures of Sophie, when she and Cheryl came to Whippendell Woods to meet me and Buster, followed by a few pictures at home.  (Tuesday 15th January 2013)

Ann’s cousin, Michael, celebrated his 70th birthday with a familly trip on The Bluebell Railway, with lunch at Sheffield Park before making the return journey.

In March 2016, Sophie has a riding lesson at Westwick Row Stables.
