Kiawah

The two weeks in Kiawah Is , SC with the family ( sadly without the 8 months pregnant Jane, and Johannes ) - a year in the planning, came and went far too quickly.  A memorable get together combining 4 generations with Granny Eye joining us for a few days  ( Mary's sisters Martha and Janie taking a 3rd house for the 2nd week ). Big, big success.

Day 2 of the Ryans' 2 weeks stay - meeting dear friend Martha for breakfast in Charleston. Bad pic, but all I've got !

July 4 parade - Duncan with Oli and Maggie in tow

1st game in 3 years for Duncan. An adventurous 18 holes for us both. Dad soundly beaten ....

...despite the distractions. And no, that's not a doll Iona's holding - that's baby Maggie. Oli on Duncan's knee

This guy - a few hundred yards from our house - kept the kids on their best behaviour
