We are family

Another walk around the Tarn to start the day then we all went to the Howard Arms for lunch, which was excellent.

It was then back to Helens for mum to open her presents with help from Theo and then a family photo.

Here we all are, Mum and her dynasty, what a fine collection of folks. It has been really good catching up with everyone, hopefully we won't have to wait until she hits 90 to do it again.

Will and Meg drove off for their epic European roadtrip, we've given them a key to our house so they can stay there tonight on their way to dover.

Eeryone else went for a rest apart from Dotty and I who went for a walk along the Ridge).  We'll head back to Mums for more food and booze in  an hour or so, it's a tough life.
