Family Hopscotch

I am sorry for the slight delay in postings, but I have been hopscotching around the place on delightful family duties: down to Devon to see my Mum (Land of clotted cream teas and scrumpy cider); back to London to see another branch of the family (unfortunately cut a little short by my need to get from one side of London to the other on the day major Underground Tube work was being done which doubled journey times, and made lugging a suitcase on and off buses very annoying); and then a side trip to Norway to see my younger brother, and meet his two girls of 5 & 4 for the first time! Busy me hey?!
