UK Visit

An English invention- fan vaulting

As well as family visits, this trip was designed to deal with unfinished business regarding various graves in March cemeteries and to progress a memorial for my mother.

Staying with my cousin Valerie and her husband Robert near Wisbech proved very supportive.

Nearby Anglo Saxon Peterborough Cathredral which is the resting place of Catherine of Aragon and the first resting place of Mary Queen of Scots has a superb Gothic west front which our photos did not do justice to.

Untouched since 1250

It was an opportunity to show Richard the only 200 foot long hand painted wooden nave ceiling completed by 1250 that is in the UK

I remember being stunned by it as a child..

On Loch Leven

Our children always make us very welcome.

Nik, Lou and dog Rapha in Surrey.

James, Jane, Joshua, Jake and dog Digger in Hampshire.

Catharine, Steve, Archie,Max and no dog in Edinburgh.

So each visit sees us travelling the length of England.

Hi Guys

A warm Easter in Edinburgh with the castle garden daffodils in full bloom is rather special.

The 10 year project to complete a good track around Loch Leven is now complete so further outings for the boys will be planned. There is even an app.

We snuggled into a Bothy for a few days at Falkland and
had our first mammoth session of monopoly.

Proud parents with James

A double first for us, being with James on his birthday with all the excitement of what to buy and when he again become manager of a new shop.
