IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
If you found this website via an old Yahoo Geocities link, then you will notice that this is now a paid website.  Yahoo Geocities closed all their free websites on October 26, 2009 AND they disappeared off the net.

Hopefully I have now managed to get the website working and all the links and search engine should work.  Should you have difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Bob and Miriam holding our twin grandsons,
Sebastien and Alastair.
They were born on 12 March 2000 and were 3 weeks old when this photo was taken - still in hospital.

They were joined by their sister, Skye, in August 2003, and are growing so quickly.
