Visit to Canada June 2006
In June we made a fantastic visit to Canada when Chris and I met:
- Chris' second cousin Paul Collier in Banff when he was kind enough to drive over with his wife Johanna from Calgary:
Chris and Paul Collier in Banff
- 5 of Chris' second cousins and some of their descendants in Saskatoon.
I have summarised an account of the visit separately:
Our Ruby Wedding Anniversary October 2006
On 15 October, we celebrated our Ruby Wedding Anniversary with family and friends:

Prior to that we had made an All our Yesterdays visit to Enfield, Middlesex where we were married in 1966, and Wormley (near Broxbourne), Ware and Harpenden, where we lived in Hertfordshire.

Our Son Steve's Wedding November 2006
On Saturday 25 November, our son Steve married Caroline Bartlett at Rowhill Grange Hotel, Wilmington, Kent:

The weather at home in Hampshire (we were told later) was truly dreadful with torrential rain, yet in Kent the early rain subsided and outside photographs were possible. What a lucky start!
The happy couple honeymooned in Mauritius.
