No transatlantic trips this year, just a
chilled-out holiday in one of our favourite parts of Greece, Kardamyli
on the Pelopponese.
So a quiet year for us, but Jon ran in the London Marathon (3 hours 22
minutes) and in September a 50plus mile run around the Ladybower
Reservoir in Derbyshire, quite an achievement! Charlie is enjoying
life in the RAF, avionics at RAF Odiham. The Doom Bar deck chair
is outside our favourite restaurant in Bude, Rosie's Kitchen. We
all had holidays at the Thatchings in Stratton, Ju, Steve Rosie and 2
dogs for Ju's birthday in January, Jon & Bex and Katie went down at
Easter and then in August, and we had a week in September.
Jon & Bex also holidayed in Cyprus (Katie in the co-pilots seat)
Rosie's dream came
true in July when she was a flower girl at the wedding of Ju's colleague
at college.
We took Rosie to the Oxford Story Museum, to Snowshill and Batsford
Falconry in the Summer Holidays.
She also went
canoeing on the Thames with Steve and Fred, the dog, while camping at
Northmoor.
She is now jumping her pony!
Another milestone passed, a 75th birthday card for Grandad, a drawing of
a steam train of course!
Its great to be so involved with the grandchildren, they fill life with
happiness and joy.
