family portraits

These pics of Arthur and his family were the result of a photo shoot that I won in a raffle at Charity Day in the golf club. Hugh\'s parents were here at the time ...

Arthur's Christening

 Arthur was Christened in the Benedictine Church in New Norcia on Sunday last. He was a great little chap throughout. His Christening gown is a Lydon family heirloom. Its been used for 100 years - the first Lydon was Christenened in it in 1912. Hugh's Dad, Don, Hugh himsef and all of the cousins in the family have been Christened in it.
New Norcia, being a Benedictine community of monks, is related to Ampleforth in North Yorkshire, where Hugh went to school and Hugh and Mags were married two years ago.

Golf at The Vines

 I drove out ot The Vines very early on Tuesday morning as the sun was rising to take part in the Ladies Invitation day there. It was a stunning sunrise - around 5 degrees so really cold (!), haze rising from the lakes and fields and low cloud picking up the colours of the sunrise. Beautiful. And I was sixth in the comp. Good day allround!

Golf in Rockingham

 Gayl and I went south to Rockingham golf club for a game this morning, It was a cold start at 11 degrees but heated up nicely for a lovely game. we enjoyed the many kangaroos and kookaburras.
