Cousins

Here are Theo and Zara enjoying time together on the sofa. We were all at David and Debbie's house to celebrate Deb's 60th birthday. I used to spend a lot of time here at the end of the 70s when I worked in Southampton.

David and Debbie have raised 4 boys here. You can see them all in the recent photograph behind. From left to right: Zoe and Peter with their daughter, Lana; Beth and Tim with Leo and Zara; Debbie and David behind Jamie (who is a Francisan friar); Hannah and Andrew with Ben, Jacob and Theo.

Next weekend they will all be together again for Ben's christening!

Leo is 1 tomorrow so he had a cake and presents today.

It was all delightfully busy and it was good we were able to be outside in the garden for most of the day.

It has been very good to catch up after quite a long gap and fascinating to see the next generation coming along.
