We had Richard’s Mother and Caroline’s Father round for New Year’s day. A light salad for lunch followed by home made steak pie! Very tasty, rather extravagant as I use a whole bottle of red wine to make the gravy, but very worth while.

 

The first week back at work and we had to commute via car, even the Brayford Pool was frozen solid.

Work continued to be busy and a few extra hours had to be put in. We also went out to celebrate a colleagues fiftieth birthday. Congratulations JK, hope I look that young at fifty!

Lastly Richard managed to squeeze in a studio photo-shoot.

The month started with the one hundredth birthday party for the Girl Guides. Caroline had helped organise the party, Richard was roped in to act as official photographer.

Then the month took a turn for the worse when mum Brown was admitted into hospital with a heart attack.

She is now making a good recovery, but health wise its proving a stressful year for the Brown Family.

More photography this month, the world photo walk took place, and Richard managed third place in the local competition. Caroline was helping to organise the the girl guides 100 party and we also went to the cinema to watch the latest Harry Potter film.

 

June was not a good time for us. Lets just say Caroline saw far to much of the hospital.

Between hospital stays we managed one day away. A photography trip to the coast taking pictures of poppy fields, butterflies and seals.

April, we celebrated a few birthdays, including Caroline’s, we had a nice meal out at the local pub to celebrate, very good food as always.

Richard did some more studio photography and also took every opportunity to test out Caroline’s birthday present, a Nikkor 105mm micro lens, and we also went for a day out on the bike over the Easter holidays, but otherwise a quite month.

As is our tradition at work, comic relief day is the day which we all make fools of ourselves. Or at least most of us do. I do not, my excuse is that someone has to take the photographs!
