Fun Easter lunch for the NCT gang. The 6 of them in age order. Lily, Daniel, Kezia, Lucas, Ellie & Katie.

The older 6 plus Megs and Cameron.

On Good Friday, we had a family day out at Hampton Court. It was just the best day. It was ace.

The main entrance.

First stop, Henry VIII's kitchens - lots of pie and cabbage!

Snack break (though not for pie and cabbage!)

Fountain Court and............

....Clock Court.

The Great Hall.

The King Henry VIII stained glass window in the Great Hall.

Queen Kezia the First.

The girls looking at the ornate ceiling.

The star of the show - as far as Kezia is concerned!

Anyone for (real) tennis? There was a game going on on the court. It must be odd for the players to be gawped at by thousands of tourists.

Team Browning in the Palace Gardens (after a chilly picnic lunch!).

Haircut anyone? Kezia as George I (in self-made hat!)

Kezia took this one. Good job!

A final look at the wooden statues in the courtyard.

If we just keep pushing, I think we can shift it......

It was a brilliant, brilliant day out.

Fun at The Lookout at Bracknell on Sunday.

3 cheeky monkeys!

Much hilarity for Kezia and Bekah building a den at The Lookout.

Last weekend it was brilliant to see Jane and Ian and their 3 boys John, Ted and Daniel. The kids had a brilliant time together.

Gibraltar & Spain football trip - the touristy photos! Let's start with a Rock!

You can never get enough British tradition in Gibraltar!

Bollards!

While we were watching the football in Gibraltar, we were surprised to find the Gibraltar Darts Open going on at the stadium sports hall at the same time!

Morocco in the haze across the Straits of Gibraltar.

Steve at Europa Point in Gibraltar. It is a wonderful spot.

One of the most underwhelming tourist attractions anywhere. An old fort in La Linea.

One of the few pretty corners of La Linea. We had nice tapas for lunch.

La Linea town hall.

The view from halfway up the Rock - Gibraltar in the foreground, Spain across the bay. It was a great trip.
