Canada to Patagonia at a Worrying Age

Brand new into the world on the day of the party – eaxactly as predicted. Isis has promised to looked after you. She’ll be a great sister. Your picture will appear here soon. you’re clearly cool.

Thanks absolutely to everyone who came and contributed to a great night in Chester on 7th. Two children’s birthday parties, with good singing and then a joint leaving do and 25th anniversary for me and Vic. Have got a good picture to add of us both at some point Vic – You won the quiz.

Cheers also to John Kenyon and St Werburghs Parish Centre. Ace venue and exactly what we needed.

Mike – as is to be expected, great unexpected speech – and you even coped with the unusual heckles about Lech Walesa. Great to see most of Vic’s family there. Hurrah to everyone that made it, you will all get a mention as time goes on – if you don’t get a mention post a comment and make your voice heard.

Of course, the most important matter was celebrating the new arrival. Hello Patrick Barlow – you get your own entry next. Well done Our Clare and Danny. He’s clearly fabulous.

Next night very relaxed in the Ship Victory – any visitors to Chester should check out a great traditional pub with music on a Saturday.

Goodbye to Chester on Sunday – cheers Mum and Dad for everything. And Ang and Sue and Karl and Paul… Extra thanks to Uncle Brian for the unexpected ‘help’. I’m really chuffed. Here’s to you and Aunty Judy.
