Choices..choices...choices
I realise there has been little input to the Reid blog for a while, what with Mahalia's baptism, Henry's birth and the visit of Aub+Rita there has been too much excitement and too much fun looking up other blogs. I think there is an inverse relationship between social life and blog productivity (Patrick you understand the equations - does this make sense?)

We do however have a large back-log of photos to reveal to the world at a very steady pace, but difficult to choose which ones...... I will do the first blitz with some photies from our trip to Northumberland...land of the early Celtic Saints (Aidan, Cuthnert, Oswald), Hadrian's wall, Roman forts, funny accents and phrases like 'champion', 'belter', 'aareeet' and 'a divvin knaw'

We had a boat trip to the inner Farne islands including the one where St Cuthbert was a hermit.

There were lots of puffins and guillemots, seals........ we were so close to them

Ailsa+Heather loved riding at the front of the boat

After a long day wall walking the blue and pink girls had a well earned rest
Team Reynolds group bath

Alnwick gardens - Ailsa was brave and got fully into the water features.
A visit to Lindisfarne - 'Holy Island'
Sharon's blog will have less photos - John

Jen it was at the Roman fort on Hadrian's wall - there was a dress up roman soldier part - and lo and behold our peace-lovin pink frilly girls got really into duelling - I think it's all the boys they're exposed to

Love the photos! Sharon's parents look exactly the same as they did when we were in Junior High! What's the photo in the bath all about?

The bath was in our holiday cottage, so big that we guessed all the girls could fit in and we were right. But we didn't try it with water!
