Happy New Year! – 1 January 2014
Rebekah and Holly managed to stay up until midnight to see the new year arrive with the usual chimes of Big Ben and fireworks in London.
Here’s how 2014 rolled in on Twitter:
December walk to Cookham Dean – 29 December 2013
Rebekah and I managed to squeeze in our final walk to Cookham Dean with a couple of days of 2013 remaining.

Annual gathering of relations – 28 December 2013
We had a good turnout of seventeen relations for this year’s family tea, which took place once again at Heather’s house.
We were also able to push Auntie Myrtle round from the nearby nursing home to join us.
Below are a few photos from the afternoon.

High water at Henley – 27 December 2013
After all the recent heavy rain, the Thames is currently running high.
We took Mum over to Henley to see the floods.
