Halfway Down


Lisa & Nigel's farm house front door is at the foot of the Pennine Way, a famous hiking route that starts in the Peak District. So, Nigel led Dad and I on a 4.5 mile trek up to the highest point within this end of the trail (Kinder Scout)- 2000 feet up. It was a rough trail- lots of rocks and mud- along a brook. And incredibly windy and cold at the top. But, well worth it. This is a shot half way down. C, of course, stayed warm at home.

She arrives!

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.
