Photos from England November 2003





Dad decided Francisco needed to experience a real Bonfire Night so that was the first part of the trip.




Next it was time for my little brother Alex to get married.I have some more photos to add in here at some point- these are a sample. Here is Francisco and I at Mum and Dad's all dressed up.




Us with Mum and Dad




Alex and Liz all married.




Throwing confetti. Cassie, Uncle David, Mum, Auntie Catherine, Auntie Liz, Helen and others.




Trever and Linda, Malcome and Ruth




Karen and Mike looking very glamorous




Cutting the cake after the reception.




We had about an hour before the evening do got going - Dad decided to provide the entertainment with a dare - to wear his bonfire coat!




Dominic and Alex - we were playing pool




Night getting late - Alex wondering what on earth he has just done! Not really. He is more worried about Colin in that shirt!




And this was his strange I'm So Excited dance.




Monday after and a night in the pub with Alex's mates.




Then we had a days walk in Howarth. Mum, Dad and Francisco. What did Francisco do wrong?




Howarth is, of course, Bronte country and this could have been the inspiration for Wuthering Heights.




Kathy, Heathcliff, Kathy, Heathcliff.




Then we popped over to Paris for 3 days. Start of the photos here. First Francisco wanted to visit the real La Bastille.




The Sacre Cour in Momatre - lovely part of Paris.




This is the Jardin de Tuilliers with the Arc de Triumph in the background (honest)




And Francisco at the Louvre.




And me at the Louvre




And inside the Louvre - the Mona Lisa of course.




Francisco liked this little alley.




We met up with Vince's parents and brother and enjoyed raclette and fondue.




Hmm - more cheese! Even Francisco had had enough.




The Notre Dame Cathedral - Francisco is the hunch back!




Inside the Notre Dame.




Triumphant Francisco at the Arc de Triumph
