Another birthday for him .....

Yes another year has come and gone and hubby gets another birthday.  This year I thought I would share with you some photos from different stages in his life.....

Firstly, school days - hubby is bottom left, next to his friend David Bowles.
Then next (left) to Mrs Ruddle is Hilary West nee Teversham with her arms folded.
Standing end of the row (right) with the blonde curly hair is David Bulloch, great knees Dave!
I don't know anyone else.

Then comes the holiday to Spain 1972 - say no more

The young man I fell in love with - 1975 Fowey, Cornwall

Big jump but I need to sort through so many photos to fill the gap, a job for another day!

How quiet it is when he's gone

Just back from dropping Rufus home from his weekend with us.  The house seems very quiet, just me and hubby.  We had a great time, tired I won't lie there, but he is so much fun.  The weather helped too.

We had light snow all day Saturday, just wet and miserable. After Friday I thought the boxes would be redundant, but  they spent the whole of Saturday afternoon playing with them.

Pops became a climbing frame....

Snow started in earnest around 5pm and started to settle even though everywhere was very wet. We woke to this

 Auntie Rachel came for breakfast and had to take a turn in the box

We then went out into the snow

 We were out for about 40 minutes then came in for a warm up and dry clothes.  Chill out time under the finished orange blanket, watching Winnie the Pooh

Then it was time to take him home as we were invited for Sunday lunch.  Rebecca and Laurie are both full of colds, but Laurie could still manage a few smiles.

So here we are just us two and a weekend full of photographs (around 300 of them) to look through.  I hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as we did.
