This is the last time we were all together, at my son's wedding. The whole family except for my daughter's husband who was in Iraq and my husband's grandchildren who did not go to the wedding.

The church was tiny in a beautiful village in the south of England and it was August Bank Holiday Saturday and for once a beautiful day.

Here you can see Katherine or Kat as she prefers to be called. She is my youngest and I
must whisper this she is 30 years old. But do not tell her I told you. In this photo she was covered in butterflies which had just been 'born'. It is one of my favourite pictures of her.

This is Monty,this is my office
and if you were here this
is what you would see.
He likes to lie here and watch me
work on the computer. He is
excellent company.

This is the market
place in the town of
Paderborn,which is the
nearest big shopping
centre to our town.
Much of the city was
destroyed in the last war.
The market place is
in front of the
Cathedral.
It is an interesting city to visit and was visited by the previous Pope a few years ago. It is a very Catholic town.

This is our flat we have lived here for about 12 years and we like the area very much. You can just see my car. I have a black Lupo, it is not very clean at the moment as I have had the dog in it a lot and there are dog hairs on the seats and it also needs a wash. But I am having too much fun on this course to wash it.
