The Grand Finale at Coughton Lodge

A rather soggy look around Stratford upon Avon but we enjoyed the gold letter boxes to celebrate the town's Olympic medal winners

Deborah's side of the family converge (again) on Coughton Lodge, just nearby, and Jon and Ruth bravely cook for 20 on the first night

Granny's (early) 60th birthday celebrations are the occasion and here she gets the kingfisher she's been longing to see in her little pond.


 The puzzle she hasn't always wanted!


Callum has done some amazing paper art - he even found a book called 'The Three Marys'!

Deborah's sister Tracy

Some of the boy cousins (minus Caleb)

All of the girl cousins

Quality time with Aunty Alex

The day all Mum's sisters join us too

Deborah's brother Paul

With Great Gran and Great Grandad we are 4 generations all together :)
 
We didn't even get a sixth of the puzzle finished despite some hard work on Ruth's part!

And it was the week of the Ice Bucket Challenge on facebook - I think 4 of us got wet altogether...

Fantastic family time - thanks Mum & Dad!
Then it was onto the plane and back to Kenya/more sunshine (but no blackberries)
