A trip to Croxley Green

This week we've been up in Croxley Green staying with my parents, visiting London, and catching up with the K-S/M-F side of the family. On route to Croxley, we stopped off in Aldbourne, Wiltshire for Laura to see where I spent some of my former years (We moved away from there to Chorleywood when I was 11).

On Thursday we braved London with Gracie for the day, and in the evening to watch mum perform Rachmaninov's Liturgy of St John Chrysostom at St Paul's Knightsbridge; She sings with the BBC Singers, and this was an absolutely beautiful concert recorded for BBC radio 3, although not sure when it's being played. It was a real privilege to hear her singing so wonderfully.

The weekend was taken over by family gatherings, Big Brother, Croxley Revels (apparently it's over 200 years old)and sport (in no order) and we had fun the whole way! We met Matt(Amy's boy friend) for the first time, and James (Julia's boy friend, who we haven't seen since our wedding!). We also saw all the aunts and uncles which was great fun... Enough babble though, here are some photos.
