December: Fi pops in and we go to Fulbourn and London to visit Dorothy and Joyce
Liz has known Fi for many years - Fi taught at TPS (The Petersfield School) when the boys were there. She now works for YWAM (Youth With a Mission) and has a home in South Africa, though she travels to world. Currently she is studying in Canterbury and often pops in - below we see how well she related to Peppi - normally a very nervous cat.
Joyce is the third wife of Frank, who adopted Martin and we pop up to see her every six weeks or so. She is 87 and not in the best of health, living on her own in a rather cold and draughty house in east Ham. We visited Joyce after going to visit Dorothy in Fulbourn.
We hope that you like the new drive - done over the summer.
We often take photographs of one of us with the girls but don't have one of both of us with the girls, so when Lynne popped in we took the opportunity to ask her to take the photograph you see below!
We visited the Rake Garden centre and posed beside their enormous Father Christmas.
The Christmas photographs were taken on both Christmas day and Boxing Day.
