We were so lucky, two graduations only eight days apart and the baby of the family, last certainly but not least! The boys made her day by bringing her menagerie, although as the photos prove I think they really did it for them. Toby came too, well we had to bring someone who wanted to […]
Family Occasions
David’s Graduation
This was another awesome and proud day for us all – David’s graduation. For once the focus was all on the middle child (poor deprived middle child as he would tell you), and he looked as if he thoroughly enjoyed it! The weather was glorious. Rachel and David stepped up to the mark and brought […]
Jonathan’s Graduation
What can I say, such a proud family! This was the most fantastic day and I even baked a cake to celebrate! Take a look at the photos and you might see somewhere that I just couldn’t keep out of the piccies! Click on the first photo to enlarge it, then navigate through them
Mum and Dad’s Golden Wedding Anniversary
After 50 glorious years, Ma and Pa celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary over the whole weekend, nothing like celebrating in style! Whilst their Wedding Anniversary is Jan 1st we started on New Year’s Eve, celebrating with Family Y (who?) Despite their advancing years Mum and Dad trounced us young uns at “smart mouth” and charades. […]
Keswick and David’s 18th – Families I and Y!
Taken a few weeks but I have finally put up something about our Keswick trip. We set off cars fully laden, in the morning of the 24th December, David’s 18th, to spend 5 days in a cottage in Keswick with our good friends, Family Y. We had the most amazing time and amazingly are still […]
David’s 17th Birthday
Gosh, its nearly a year since I posted last – sorry about that! David is now 17 and to celebrate the puppy went sledging in the morning with Family Y (younger elements of). Then he came back for the cake that his sister rescued after his Mother decided to take it out of the tin […]
Rachel’s Batmitzvah

To see the photos click on one below to enlarge and then scroll through them. Fabouous weekend, something very different and very special. The speeches are below – Jonathan and David’s […]
Jonathan’s 18th
It’s 18 years since my 3 kg (6lb 10oz in old money) baby came into this world. He’s grown somewhat since then – much taller than his little Mum and at least the same height as his Dad! We were so proud that day 18 years ago and we are just as proud of him […]
David’s Barmitzvah
This took place on the 7th January 2006, although like Jonathan’s it all started with a breakfast in Shul on Monday 2nd January. Thankfully it was a Bank Holiday so we all got a lie in as the service didn’t start until 08;30! Special thanks to Anne and Malcolm for being the official photographers that […]
Jonathan’s Barmitzvah
This took place on the 5th October 2002, but the weekend really started on the Thursday morning when he was called up for the first time and a celebratory breakfast was had in Shul. To be honest the weekend started on the Wednesday when the house was turned into a simcha by our friends and […]
