I came back from Lancaster on Thursday and enjoyed a day off yesterday in the Sun. Helen helped Anne and Heather prepare a dragon's head for the Beaver parade, whilst this image shows Helen Angus and I squeezed in the Wendy House (more here). It is the the 3 peaks tommorow so I am up north again today....

Last week Angus started playing rugby for Okehampton under 7s and 2 years watching and learning his older brother on the touch line paid off..... it was like unleashing a torrent of talent and pent up passion. He scored a try in his inaugural match and did the same in his second session today - caught on camera. Here are the images taken in the Indian summer sun today and some shots of the try. Well done Angus - I feel the future looks good for you in this sport you seemed very natural....(although I am a little biased!). Dad

On Sunday the 3 Haygarth males - me, Angus and Matt - all did the South West Cyclo Cross Race at Bodmin. Angus and Matt were first timers. Angus put in a brave performance as 5 year old in the U 12s race and Matthew won the under tens. The picture shows Matthew receiving his gold medal and other pictures - in fact loads of pictures - can be seen here. Grandma also came along to shout support from here deck chair! Milestones!

Grandma's happy ensemble

Yesterday we Haygarths gathered for the first time as a group of ten, welcoming Elsie into our chaotic fold with many smiles for Grandma and her 5 grand children. In G'ma's own words, as we drove to meet Dave et al at Rivington, "for the first time I will be able to hug all my 5 grandchildren at the same time". She did! See pics here.......

Last weekend Angus showed Dileus in the Sticklepath dog show and, amongst a field of about 10 competitors, won first prize. Angus was delighted and has subsequently been in the Okehampton Times. Here are some pictures of the last weekend, including Matthew as a marshal in the Sticklepath Horseshoe race and Helen with Marianne Bardgett (they visited en route to Cornwall)....
