Another year...

Happy First Birthday, Anna

lots of love Mom, Dad and Benji

Clowning around...

Ben was delighted to come away from his school's Easter Fair on Saturday with his face transformed. When he is big he wants to be a clown (as one does).

Well that was this weekend.

This morning he told me he wants to be a fireman (or a rugby player like dad or a rusk and layer cake baker like mom).
Oh the dizzying heights of ambition in one so young...

Easter Weekend

Happy Easter Bunnies!

Happy Birthday to Oupa and Nana!

And there's always time for a history lesson: Mom, Ben and Anna checking out Winston Churchill's grave in Bladon, Oxfordshire

Introducing the new Mr & Mrs Schonken...

Congratulations to Nico and Fi on their wedding day yesterday!

It seems that Anna is more interested in Claire, the retreating bridesmaid, than in posing for wedding photos

When I grow up I want to own a Bentley

Hens Shooting

As part of Fiona's hen weekend, the gals donned their green wellies and went clay pigeon shooting in the Cotswold countryside near Cheltenham yesterday. The company that we used has some famous clientele: Princess Annes's children shoot there regularly as does the late Princess Diana's hairdresser! Turns out that Fi and her twin sisters are pretty good shots...Nico should be nervous.
