1971 - NOT amateur radio

The photo shows our wedding day in July 1971. I had hair!

50 years later I am bald and much different.  Where did the years go?

Royal wedding - NOT amateur radio

OK, I am not a great royalist and I hate the wall to wall coverage of this event, especially the hats people will be wearing and the food to be eaten at some remote street party. This is especially galling when "real" news is relegated to insignificance.

However, the last 12 months (and more) have been difficult and people are looking for light relief. The royal wedding is a good distraction and generally makes people feel better. This I do understand.

Family gathering - NOT amateur radio

This weekend my wife's brother and his wife celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a party in Cheshire. It was a good chance for my wife to catch up with relatives not seen for a while.

40th Wedding Anniversary

40th Wedding Anniversary Guests

This weekend my wife Lis and I have been celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with our friends and family. It seems only yesterday we were married! Time flies so make the most of every moment. This group photo shows everyone who attended our afternoon party.

French wedding

These last few days we've been enjoying our son's wedding in Brittany, France where the weather, company, food and wine have been great. Unlike an English wedding, this one has taken 3 days to get through! Great fun though with a day dedicated to eating crepes (pancakes) yesterday followed by a siesta in a meadow under the oak trees!
