After 40th. wedding anniversary do. Maddy made all the waistcoats.

Outside Cheney Manor Road house not long after Matt and Maddy were married. They had stored a lot of their furniture in the garage while they were between houses. They had come to collect it and all rallied round to help. Tim diverted his ice cream round so he could join in.

Taken in Angelsey. Damian doing a good job of saving the baby.It was on this holiday that Jem refused to visit Harlech Castle because he was convinced that Daleks lived there. He didn't want to go to Church Bay either because he had had enough of church.

Outing to Wales. Before the near disaster in the car. Jem released the hand break and Dad just managed to get to it in time.

The beginning of the long haired phase!

Our last holiday all together. The car gave endless trouble and we were stranded on camp sites several times. We could not have been stranded in a more beautiful place. We could sit at the opening of the tent and watch avalanches sweep down off the summit of the Eiger. We would hear the sound several minutes later. The lads had a wonderful time climbing on the glacier.

Hughie's first communion

Just thinking about a great adventure.

Off on a great adventure! Damian was inspired by wearing Paddy's cricket cap.

Bidston Hill is a beauty spot near where we lived in the Wirral. We spent many happy times there. Cully had a running story about a little man called Mr. Snooks, who lived in Bidston Woods. He was always just out of sight. They never quite managed to see him.

Enjoying a huge joke. Do you like the hair cuts? We had invested in hair clippers and Cully got carried away.

Our first holiday. We booked a caravan, but when we got there we found that it was not ready and the rain had got in and everything was wet. We complained and the owner put us into a lovely bungalow that belonged to his brother. It was lovely.

There was a school party after Damian's first communion. All the rest of the family joined in the fun and games later.

Solicitous big brother on the step of the Reedville Grove house. There was a hand holding Matt really.

Confirmation day at Sacred Heart in Moreton.

Jem and Hughie chillin..

In our first year in Swindon we explored the local places of interest. You could get right up to the stones in those days.
