Flashback Fridays

family gathering

Another one of our regular “family gatherings”.

Back row (l-r) Poppy, Finlay, William (a family friend) Bobby- that’s me holding up the wall of the house!

Front row (l-r) Gus and William

For those new to our blog, here’s the family tree.

Back Row : Poppy is my niece, she was one of my sister Kelpie’s babies. Poppy’s birthday is 29th March 2001, she’s now 12½ yrs old. Next to Poppy is Finlay (you all know about Finlay) and next to Finlay is another William, a friend of our family), then there’s me.

Gus and William on the front row were litter brothers; both born 12th Feb 1999.

All that’s left is Poppy and myself, but we haven’t forgotten any of the others – they live strong in our hearts, especially Mama’s heart.

Gus was never any good at getting across these pesky stepping stones with out falling into the stream. Here he’s taking an “forced” slurping – see the water pouring out of his beard. I do miss him. Mama says though, she I remind her of Gus when trying to cross the stepping stones ‘cos I too nearly always end up in the drink!
