Put it to the People
23 March. At a rough guess, about twice the number of people who were at the March for a People’s Vote.
A long wait at the advertised starting point in Park Lane. A bottleneck into Piccadilly. We eventually turned into Green Park, eventually to meet our daughter, Sophie. Lunch in St. James’s Park and then to Parliament Square, still crowded long after the speeches has finished. In addition to the route of the march itself, many roads in the West End had been closed, apparently in response to unexpectedly large crowds.

Ship Cottage, Pwll Du
A birthday return to the Gower in mid-December. Wonderful. Atrocious weather was just part of the adventure.
Across the Severn for a few days
Leaving our youngest daughter as a full-fledged undergraduate student, Carol and I paused in South Wales.
Tintern Abbey
Eleanor leaves for Bristol University
Among a large class of 2018, on September 22nd Bristol University received our youngest daughter, Eleanor, to read Zoology. We wish her well. It’s a great place, and she is a multi-talented young lady.
