          | Three months with two big family weddings; 
            my sister Vickie married Richard Gooding in May, at a lovely country 
            pub in Dorset. Then in June, Vanessa's sister Gail married Andi Fasino 
            in Mitcham, Surrey. Both wedding days were wonderful and yielded many 
            excellent pictures of family, friends, and of course, the two boys. 
            In June we also attended the christening service of Juliette Holt; 
            Ruth and Nathan's youngest daughter who is about the same age as Monty. 
            It was a hot summer day and the children were entertained in the garden 
            by a very good magician. |  | Please note that in order to present

          |  At Vickie's wedding reception there was a skittle alley in the hall. 
            We all had a game and Raffy enjoyed running up and down the lanes 
            and stealing the balls...

            and the grounds of the manor in Mitcham were ideal for wedding photographs.

            were conveniently placed in Ruth & Nathan's garden.
