August Newsletter...

It seems that in our 7th month (to the day) absence, you've all been very busy. Far from pining for us, staring at our photos with misty eyes and counting down the days until our homecoming, everyone has been getting on with their lives. Following the wonderful news of my still in-utero neice or nephew and then Em & Andrew's engagement, there have been many more good tidings to report.


In chronological order now...Congratulations to Bison & Suzanne on the arrival of Ibby and a sister for Erin - gorgeous photo of them both! Little prezzie to follow soon. Second important birth of the year was the procurement of Lily Agnes!! A gorgeous little girl for James & Denise and a sister for Frank. Well done all of you. If that wasn't enough reproducing for one year, we hear Ben and Nicky are cooking one up too!





Then, as if things could get any more exciting, Andy's sister Rachel, was proposed to by the lovely Joe during their recent holiday in Rome. The date is set for August '07 and they're having it in a greenhouse somewhere in Sheffield. Can't wait guys!! Also huge and massive congratulations to Josh and Paula who've gone and got themselves married in our absence (selfish), but even though we were gutted we couldn't be there we were still pleased as punch that they did it anyway! And THEN, I receive news that my good friends Heids & Lins are to make their wedding vows official in a December ceremony in Brighton.

It's all go back in the U.K.
