40th wedding anniversary

i realised i never explained why we went to norfolk last month year. it was because it was my parents-in-law 40th wedding anniversary.
here is their cake:

brother edd’s belated birthday present

i gave brother edd this fantastic birthday present, but he left it behind when he went home. looking back at the pictures i can see that perhaps he wasn’t as pleased with it as i’d imagined.

a family voyage

it’s not quite Moses parting the oceans and leading his people across the sea. instead it’s esther leading the family over some stepping stones across a pond in a National Trust property. It didn’t quite have the same religious significance of course.

my father-in-law turned 70 last Saturday. i used to think 70 was incredibly old, but now it doesn’t seem so amazingly old. It’s still impressive though!
