June 2003 : 24 months   Download times...
June brought blazing hot summer days, and numerous birthday parties; all Raffy's little friends who live locally were summer babies, so we have a run of about eight birthdays in June and July! So there were many long, sunny afternoons with cake and ice-cream, and jumping around in paddling pools. We also had helicopter rides and a lot of barbeques. Raffy's 2nd birthday party took place at the end of June, and there is a separate section for pictures of this. We were also getting very excited about Monty's imminent arrival (although at the time we didn't know if he would be a Monty or a Montetta - just kidding!)   Please note that in order to present large, high-quality pictures, this page may take almost a minute to download completely. The first few pictures will be visible quickly, but please have patience with the rest!


On a summers day out in Warlingham with the Holts, we went to a country pub for Sunday lunch. Rafferty and the girls enjoyed some ice cream for dessert before returnin to running around the beer garden like mad things.


Eddie and Raffy on the swing lounger...
On Eddie's 61st birthday - we all went to Sutton for a barbeque. Here are Raffy & Grandad on the swing lounger.
  Mummy and Raffy, just before Monty was born...
This picture was taken on the 29th June - the day before Raffy's 2nd birthday, and only a week before Monty was born.


Raffy in Dover
An afternoon in late June, we drove to Dover to give Raffy a run on the beach.


Grandad Mike & Raffy
While getting the garden ready for Raffy's 2nd birthday party, my dad and Raffy found that playing with the gazebo was much more fun than actually putting it up.

A helicopter ride for Raffy & Emily
We took the children to a family 'fun day' at Mel's work - they had helicopter rides there. Raffy and Emily had great fun crawling around this one...

"OK Emily, now we've nicked the helicopter, where the hell am I going to land the bloody thing?!"

Raffy & Emily at their friend Morgan's birthday party. This was a lovely cottage garden in West Hougham with lots of little nooks to explore.


Raffy and Daddy
At another summer garden party - this one at Anne-Marie's house in Chestfield. Raffy was determined to look over the fence to see if he could spot any bears...
