We recently camped at Weston Super Mare to reduce our journey time to Bristol each day as Lydia had a week full of iGCSE exams. Travelling back to the campsite one day Lydia and I were musing over what the 'Super' in Weston Super Mare meant. We found out that it means 'next to' or 'alongside'; so the full name is Weston beside the sea! How interesting. A mini heat wave was soon replaced by normal camping weather, but we were able to make a bit of a holiday out of it all. A few piccies from the week below.
I retired from the Royal Marines Band Service in 2007 having served for 33 years as a musician, eventually becoming a Director of Music and running my own band. After retirement, I took my family sailing in the Philippines with a view to sailing back to the UK via Australia. However, for many reasons our plans changed and after 9 years living in Dartmouth we have now moved to Totnes .I am married to Lynn and we have four children. Daniel and his wife Sara live in Wales; Hannah is married to another Dan and they live with our grandchildren Sophia, Isaac and Elijah in Newton Abbot. Lydia is married to Tim and they live and work in London and have just had our fourth grandchild, Ernest. Julia married to Angus and they live in Newquay. My time is taken up with playing, writing and teaching music, working as a Debt Coach for the charity Christians Against Poverty, working and volunteering as a hill and mountainside on Dartmoor and the Lake District, and being very involved in our local church.
