brother and sister

great excitement today as the two girls and Freddie arrived from Ireland, and my sister from Scotland. 
My sister is staying with my niece at her home nearby but I and the girls met up with them for an hour this afternoon. 
It's so good to see Freddie, I hadnt realised how much I was missing him, even though we have been skyping twice a day. 


These two, my eldest,  dont see each other very often and its unusual to get them both in the same shot. Here they are with a collection of photographs of their late Dad, which Becky had found for them. 

All the final preparations are going on, much frenzied activity, and the arrival of more and more guests.
