St Ives 1983 - our first holiday together, with Barbara and David
Barbecue at New inn Mill - one of many. This one was 1989, with the whole gang there.
Blackpool beach, with Tracy and David. There was quite a group of us as I recall. Nell and I came back in her 2CV at the start of a monster storm and got rained on most of the way back.
This trip at the start of 2004 came about because we'd set Nell a task of finding something nice to do when she came out of hospital after surgery. It was a special few days, staying in snowy Portmeirion. Christine and my parents were also with us.
2004 fishing in the garden. Who needs fish? Or water for that matter?!
Think this is the first time I saw them take to the water together, 2004 in Norfolk. as i recall I joined them (and fell in) shortly afterwards!
Walk in Hulme End 2008
Hulme End a minute later, that look when she realised she'd been photographed! i have loads of photos of things we did but very few that actually have Nell on them.
In 2009 we spent a good few weeks pottering on the Llangollen Canal while Nell rested after chemo. This is Pontcysyllte (hold onto the dog!)
Heading up a 45% slope near Blackpool Sands in 2010. She always found the easy walks!
I wonder how many beaches we sat on over the years, including this one, Prawle Point in January 2010
Blustery walk to the top of The Roaches, 2nd January 2011
I've never been a fan of camping but with good weather and good company this was a fun Break. Anglesey, July 2012
Another New Year break, 2014, staying on a barge at Pin Mill, but Nell and George took to the water is something smaller
In 2016 the two of us went away for what I think was the first time on our own, motorhoming around the Outer Hebrides North Uist. Must have been fun as we did it again 2 years later.
March 2018 break in Pwllheli with Amber, George and two lazy dogs
May 2018, back in Norfolk, staying in the most gorgeous cottage. This was taken at Burnham Overy Staithe.
Nell always loved to ride the gallopers whenever she got the chance (insert joke here!) This was after the 2018 fireworks at Alton Towers where a kind attendent let her have several goes one after another.
Late Jan 1988-Alice Springs
Jan 1988 Uluru, about 5 minutes before the first of many “spider incidents”!!!
Jan 1988- Somewhere in Northern Queensland......acting the ape....
Nell - helping me out at Albert Terrace, Wolstanton, working hard and camera-shy as usual. An unhappy coincidence of date: this was on 16 Feb 2017.
At my 40th birthday party with the usual suspects; January 2005
Unusually, this was at a barbecue with friends that *wasn't* held at New Inn Mill!
