Here are a few pictures of various family-related events for 2019.
There’s space here for a bit of family news as well...
Chris is still enjoying his job in the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, working with complete DNA sequences of patients, and has had his contract renewed for another two years.
John has got a new job working in a new Waterstones in Silverburn, Glasgow, which he's loving. Much closer to his home as well.
Remember Holly had enrolled for a PhD in Dundee, looking at how one can measure the impact of art on families? Well, now she has now finished the first MSc year, and graduated.
Kate is still volunteering at Anglesey Abbey, producing their Community Wall, and also very much involved in helping establish more Repair Cafés locally.
Mike keeps himself busy with art and music (and a lot of pottering round to be honest). The art is mostly linocuts. They sort of work but there’s a lot to learn. As always, he is better at starting projects than finishing them unfortunately, so you end up with nothing finished! Oh well...

Now why is Chris looking so sceptical?
John came home to help us clear the loft, and got the old iMac working!

We went to Kate's Aunt Jane's 80th birthday party, and danced!

This is the Waterstones that John has a new job in. In which John has a new job?
At the Lund's house in Birmingham. Chris, Rhianna, Peter and Rowan.

There are more and more Repair Cafés in the Cambridge area. A good thing!
