Jem and Sue's house warming party at Okus Road

Grandma Burkie's three sisters with Tim at Matt's wedding. It was a great adventure for the three of them. Flo and Aggie stayed in the hotel and had a whale of a time. They made use of everything in the hotel room and made a thorough adventure of the occasion.

Taken by Paddy in garden of Cheney Manor house. Obviously during the long hair rebellion.

Seeing Damian off on the John Biscoe ('85). He sailed to the Antarctic from Grimsby.

Just before going, Damian had come up to Ilkley to see me and Jem came with.We had a great time climbing - mostly in the rain - we had silly hats and strange clothes, at Almscliffe, Damian had a Tibetan wooly hat, Jem had a 'Raiders's of the Lost Ark' type hat, and I had a bowler. Some proper climbers couldn't believe their eyes as they hurried past trying to get out of the rain!

Outside church in Lyme Regis after Mass for Brendon and Pat's golden wedding.

All eight Carrolls were, unusually, in the country at the same time. We all gathered at Brendan's in Newbury where this picture was taken. Sad to say Brendan took ill earlier in the day and had to go to bed. The doctor came and gave him an injection to help him to get downstairs for this photo. You can't tell that he was being held up though!

The garden of the house in Swindon was 100 yards long from the front of the house to the end. When we first moved in most of it was cultivated - leeks, potatoes and general veg. There were apple trees and plum trees. We eventually grassed more and more and even had a mini golf course.

Floods of happy memories.

Round the table in the kitchen of Cheney Manor Road. Karen Dawson, from Castle Head, was visiting.
