Another busy month: we got some help one Monday when both Emma and Kerry joined us on a visit to Bird World. Later in the month we flew to Northern Ireland to join in the celebrations of Johnny and Margaret's 50th Wedding Anniversary - and while there we visited other friends and relatives. We attended a Ruby Wedding celebration on the Isle of Wight and bade farewell to the last flying Vulcan. |
