Fairy lights in the corridor inside Shalom

A view of the garden and giant secoya.

J in the kitchen.

J, her mum and Anna.

View from the front of the house.

And back.

J drove me to the station on Xmas eve. The sky was blood red.

Philip and Stephen in a rare bonding moment. These boys could be nothing but British.

Mam's tree and fairy.

Xmas morning.

My booty.

D and Grandad Xmas day. Go on gramps, break your face.

J with hat in the lounge, Knole Road.

Shep speeds us away for a drink in Stockton.

D after Terry's party, a little tired and emotional. Yup.

J after same party looking not entirely unlike Gwyneth Paltrow.

Gwyneth Paltrow with wind that is.

J and I go back to Brington. This is Leicester Station.

J with football next to the Secoya.

Naomi, Zulu and J by a stile. Yes I did say Zulu. Be grateful it's not Woggy or Sooty.

J running, hilariously.

My fave picture of J, ruddy in the New Year air.

Nay and Blacky. Sorry, Zulu.

A rather fetching pic of D.

J reading on the train back to London.

Champagne at midnight. New year 2001/2002.
