Bill’s 60th birthday

It’s all celebrations of multiples of 10 around here. Saturday saw Karen’s uncle Bill turn 60. We popped down to Hartstene for the day to hang out with the Watts and Willards, including Karen’s cousins Julie and Brad who flew up specially.

“Captain” Bill got serenaded by friends and family, and suffered very gamely through a fantastic slideshow assembled from old family snaps of the ’50s and ’60s by Raleigh.

The next day, we went for a hike up Karen’s trail – this is the last I saw of them as I got fixated on removing holly and  Scotch broom – nasty invasive species in the North West.P1000530
