90th birthday party

Yesterday Philip, Emma and I drove three hours to a country town called Scone to celebrate the 90th birthday of a dear 'aunt'.  It was just lovely to meet up with her and lots of other relatives, who'd come from all over the place.  The last time one couple saw Philip was in Tremblay- le-Vicomte in France, when he was four, so it was quite exciting for them  to see his 4-yr-old daughter!  What a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then.


Aunt lives in a beautiful sandstone house - here's a pic of the back veranda:
It's the kind of house, with a rambling garden, that is every child's delight.

.......and every adult's delight. We lived in a house with a huge rambling garden of 2 acres when the children were little and they remember it still with the greatest loving memories. We could possible buy a carpet to fit our back lawn in the house we live in now!
