Park, Park, Park & Park

United again across the Atlantic, my old friend from high school brought his family to ours for a traditional UK traditional feast.

...from two teenagers who look like they are having the best time in the world.  And the rest of the Parks and Philpots.

C may actually be taller than Mum...

D and her friend Florence took part in half day dance recital. It was a great experience in a proper dance studio in Covent Garden.

C spent the day out on the shooting range with the CCF today- a great experience. Detail-focused observers will be able to see on his phone the type of gun they shot with today.

D and G, two American Gals over for Turkey burgers!

He brought cheese, as per usual.

D back in Southfields as a zombie school girl...

D and Tommy in the Cotswolds with the pumpkin they carved.

Tommy Walker and D atop the hills of northern Gloucestershire. 

Left early this morning for 3 days of Combined Cadet Force training. 

She's running a half marathon in Wimbledon Common today, so we cheered her on.

Vintage clothes, epic salt beef bagels and sugar cane juice...

...handstand competition in the living room.

An annual tradition at Lord's. Middlesex Vs Durham; not sure who won.

D and T at the RAC.

C and T at the RAC.

Did I mention that it's our favourite beach...

Our favourite beach...

With assorted family.

... on the streets of Earls Court? The Quinton's. 

Our old flat...at 12:30am...

...a National Trust property in Kent.

D as Shenzi

...at school PGL camp.

On our way to chocolate making in Brixton, on a hot, sunny day.

...on a Tuesday evening down at the park.

All the kids and parents gathered out in the woods of Surrey on Saturday for the end of year celebration. This is the evening talent contest, which had several individual acts as well.  Generally, the parents stay up late around the bonfire. And the kids stay up later! And are the first ones up.

Bells took us all out to dinner to celebrate.  At a fantastic Singaporean restaurant.  

John, C and Taro.

With the girls in Spain, it means that C and I can feast. Dinner is a Cheeseburger pizza from Domino's. And a John Wick movie. The next morning: I can recommend the pizza, but not the movie.

They're off tomorrow morning for a week.  C and I are here watching guy movies and eating pizza.

As we've done for years past, we took in a bit of this famous contest- I can't link to all of the past times we watched this. Right now, they're watching Azerbaijan!
