Nana Loma meets Caleb

Yes, he has a name now!

Great-Nana Loma adores boy babies...

A new baby!

A big welcome to our 5th grandchild born today!

Who is he like? A little bit like Stacey - glimpses of Jessica - he doesn't have an Alexander nose! Mostly he is like himself. What lies ahead for a baby born in 2006? He already has an adoring sister and lots of cousins to watch out for him.


Here is Kristina, with Rhys, Emily, & Natasha, as well as



Robert & Jenny who did all the hard work.

At the historic club hillclimb on Sunday I tried out the digital camera for the first time. It was quite easy when cars were stationary, this old tractor (the one on the left ha-ha sorry, Doug) had been stationary for about 60 years!

When cars move, it's much harder, you have to follow them (pan) and press the button at the right time. It's easy to catch an empty road, with a car just coming or just going, or half a car! And when you look at your picture, you can easily take a picture of the grass!

But I did get some good pictures, with the help of a little photoshop cropping. I know how to zoom and change the batteries, and I also know that once you have turned the camera off, all the settings that worked are no longer set! It's all up hill from here!

A monarch for Geraldine :-) Geraldine, check the settings in Outlook Express, it' s probably set to block attachments that might contain a nasty virus. If set, it will block all .jpg attachments. Click on the image to see the big version, then File, Save Image As to save it.

Stacey came to dinner and read a book to Nana, blew some bubbles and ate lots of peanuts!

Stacey's dad blew some excellent bubbles.



Butterflies and bubbles - what a way to spend a lovely summer evening!
