Canada trip for Matt and Dad

Matt and I are in Winnipeg visiting the Prairies and the Great Lakes. I am here on a work trip taking at the Canadian Soil Science Meeting and Matt has come along to help carry my bags whilst my arm is still in a sling. It is a first time experience for both of us, having a great time. Lots of piccies from the field trip on my Birthday here...... 

Happy Birthday Mum / Grandma / Margaret!

Jane and Iain's Wedding

Jane and Iain's Wedding, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.

We have just returned from a great weekend, a lovely farm wedding in Devon of Jane and Iain. For Helen it was a 'first' and she was thrilled, along with us all, at the happiness, the 'tractor' departure from the church, the marquee, the hog roast, the barn dance. Great also to see old friends, among many the Cunninghams. Thanks to Anne for doing all the driving for my disability, and looking after us with two nights in a travel lodge to boot.

Lovely run out for me today in convalescence mode, a pint at the Mason's Arms and a Barbi at Fell Foot by Lake Windermere. Thanks Anne and the children.
