Dear Canada Family, we thought you would like to know we're being well looked-after and we're very happy, even though our lives are not quite as peaceful as they once were! Love from Clem and Ginger

We miss you too

Flowers for Katie-Nana

We took her some daffodils and snowdrops and hyacinths and love from all of you.

One year on.......

....and we still love and miss you just as much. Hope you've found some heavenly babies to look after, dearest Katie-Nana. XXXXXXX B.

Remembering Kate

Here's a picture of Kate at Farringford at peace and, as always, happiest in the garden. How fast a year goes by...a memory from Chip, Dara, Pip and Tim

Late News from China

Happy Old Year Everyone...making a stylishly late entrance, China have made it into 2007....Father Christmas managed to find Isabel on the train, as we sped through the night on Christmas Eve and woke to frosty rice terraces and cold water buffalo on Christmas morning...we sang 'Do they know it's Christmas time at all' as Kev wandered through the train in his festive hat...but they didn't....a lovely Hong Kong Christmas followed, with Izzy getting mixed up with Rice Krispies and wishing all and sundry a 'rice christmas'...was she the only child in the family to have a Pot Noodle for Christmas lunch? (She did have some brussel sprouts in the evening!) anyway, looks like everyone had a happy time...hope the old 'uns upstairs had a smile on their faces watching us all! Lots of love xxxx

FOND FAREWELL IN FLORIDA.....FLIPPIN FLECK....PETE.

Finn's belated birthday cake

"That's the trouble with a Christmas birthday - everyone's too busy to remember your cake!"

floridian meeting of the minds!!

Thanks for making the effort to visit C and D, great to see you, the kids were all looking for you when they woke up Thursday morning! They travel all this way to see us and all we could feed them was Pizza no wonder they are "not keen" on America!!
Heidi and gang x

Happy New Year from Spratton

We had a lovely Courchevel Christmas - enough snow for skiing because we were quite high though no actual snowfall while we were there.The fog on the way out only delayed us for two hours so we were very lucky compared to most folk flying out on the same day. Finn not very impressed with the actual snow though he loved riding up and down in the gondola and Jordan found he could still ski after all having spent weeks beforehand convincing himself that he couldn't. Nana still not very brave but then green and blue have always been her favourite colours (when pink is not an option). Poor Gabi exhausted after having to do clever stuff in the mornings with Steve and instructor stuff in the afternoons with me and Jordan. Hope every one had a great Christmas, love to you all, Bev

Happy New Year from Canada

Happy 2007!
We have just returned from a week up north at the cottage...much restorative peace, but not much snow and even the lake was largely unfrozen. The pic is Gibson posing with one of our inuksuks beside the driveway to the cottage after a sprinkling of snow. Hope everyone's travels and rests were equally restoring.
