Danny,
Karen and Lisa back in England - March - April
2008
Danny, Karen and Lisa
arrived back in England from the Seychelles on 16
March. They all stayed with us in 11 Bridge Road for a
few days during which Karen got her baby checked out
and Danny attended job interviews. Karen's baby is due
on 1st Sept by which time they will all be back home
in 23 Church Path.
Danny returned to the
Seychelles on 21 March for a week while Karen and Lisa
went down to Lyme Regis to stay with Karen's Mum and
Dad until Danny returned to England.

Peter and his wife Sheila, along with George's

Lola
has a visit from her Grandma and Papa in Kingston - 24
February 2008
Just before Jean and
Brian arrived at Mary and George's house in Kingston,
near Lewes, Lola had a little accident when she went
head-over-heels down a step in the garden on her push
tricycle. She had a big bump and her head and her nose
and lip were very bloody. Her Mum and Dad were
worried, but Lola is a tough little cookie and came
through the whole episode smiling, as can be seen on
the following snaps taken during the day.

Family
get-together in Highgate - 9 December
2007
Will organised a
pre-Christmas get-together at 23 Claremont Road for
all the Fellows clan (with the exception of Danny,
Karen and Lisa who unfortunately could not make it
from the Seychelles). Mary, George and Lola arrived
first from Kingston, followed by Jean and Brian from
Emsworth and finally Peter, Julia and Lily arrived
after a long 6-hour drive from Manchester. We had a
fine meal prepared by Rachel on Saturday evening and
we all stayed overnight. Will cooked pancakes for
breakfast on Sunday morning and for lunch we had
bagels, cream cheese and smoked salmon (see video link
below). High living! The weather was dreadful so we
could not get out, but we all had a great time.

Family

Will brought
Freddy , Nell and Reggie down to Emsworth for the
weekend. Freddy and I went birdwatching at Titchfield
Haven Nature Reserve on Friday . On Saturday we all
went shopping in Emsworth and the kids played on the
playground apparatus. In the evening Freddy and I went
to Fratton park to see Pompey draw 0-0 with West Ham.
The three children stayed with us overnight while Will
and Rachel went to a party. On Sunday Mary, George and
Lola arrived from Kingston. Lola is now walking
everywhere (no more bum shuffles) and also has a small
but growing vocabulary. It rained solidly all day, but
we had some fun indoors.Here are a few snaps from the
weekend.
