The family pages. Pictures from NZ and the UK -  with people in both hemispheres and visiting in both directions at different times, well life is never boring. 

Dad and Mum with Aisling, taken in 1968 sometime and it looks like the back garden of Silbury Road, Bristol.

I realise this does not appear to be the appropriate picture to open a page about the family, but really it is.  My sister has just purchased this camper van, then books a 2 month round the world trip, calling here in NZ for the first time since I came out in 1975 and no, she is not using the van.  So, I must presume the purchase was just for me when I go over next, somewhere to stay and able to move around and catch up with all the relatives and friends, fantastic.  Thank you Babs.

So here is the family in New Zealand, plus Emma and Charlie, here on holiday from the UK at the time. September 2001.

Do you recognise anyone here, the condemned, sorry the happy bridegrooms last night of freedom, sorry, his farewell to all his good lady friends, sorry....Stag Night!



Darren in the green T; Rich, well the less said the better I think!

Gee, I am not in this photo but I recognise some of the extended family.  Can anyone help with names?
