Christmas 2009

Ben was back from Strathmore College in Stoke, Grandad was out of hospital and Chris arrived from Japan. And so the festivities began .......

Ben with his Grandad on Christmas Eve.
Three college boys (Ben and second cousins, Mike and Tom) in one of Ben's favourite restaurants.

Romeo and visitors from South Wales, Eluned and Meirian.

M-J drinksTom's health.

Ben, Vanessa and a very cold person at Broadway Tower. There was snow but it wasn't crisp and even.

Well, it wouldn't be Christmas without a Scrooge.

Rosi's mum came over all the way from Germany to say "Frohe Weihnachten"

The Labour Candidate for Swansea West dropped in to Evesham with his delightful daughters.

A lovely day at Chris's cousin's house was only slightly marred by the discovery that Romeo was, in fact, an alien from the planet Zog. Only the dog, Millie, seems concerned, however.

Romeo was as surprised as his mother to find that Uncle Ben had bought him a set of girl's underwear for Christmas. Ben thought it was a great joke. Where does he get that zany sense of humour from?Grandad and Rosi (Y'know, Tim's wife, Tom's mum - see above) raise a merry smile from Grandad Bond.
