Our family have just had the most fantastic bank holiday weekend in a Jacobean mansion on the Somerset/Dorset border. Eighteen of us (my children their partners and their children) had a wonderful time playing silly games and consuming industrial amounts of food and drink. Special thanks to Nicola and Cosima for masterminding the Sunday lunch. A real banquet.
The photo is of my two youngest sons and youngest grandchildren on the way back from the pub (no holiday is complete without a pub, right?)
I'm glad that you all had a great time.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Graham. I felt so sad when it was over.
DeleteWow... 18 of you! No wonder you needed a mansion to accomodate everyone, and to have a chance for some privacy at the same time. The weather looks perfect, too!
ReplyDeleteEverything was perfect, Meike. We all felt very lucky.
DeleteI am glad for you..it sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Libby. It really was.
DeleteGreat family photo Frances and memories to cherish. Hope you snapped one of you altogether as these family occasions don't happen too often.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get one of us all together, Maggie, and really regret it.
DeleteThat is awful blurry. As long as the memories are good it's all that matters.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter took it, Adrian. None of us are in your class! I need to ask you a question. In my horse's stable is a swallow's nest with newly hatched young. How on earth are they going to make it to Africa in time? I worry about them.
DeleteWow, big family. Fun to be able to gather everyone!
ReplyDeleteYes, it really was, DT.
DeleteHow lovely, Frances - sounds absolutely wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rosemary. It was!
