Julie got married. We provided them with champagne on the lawn - our girls serving it: several guests wanted more and more!!. Then we went to the reception - the men stripping down to ttheir rolled up shirt sleeves. Sadly the marriage did not last.

Margaret and family came up - likely just the once, and Kate stayed to do a work placement: she was studying Hospitality in London. This 1985/1986. Sally and Geoff seemed to have visited in the rain, and we had a lovely day up at the Wagers ( Aysgarth parents) near Jedburgh: sadly that marriage also petered out, their 3? children being almost grown up when it did. They took Stephen on holiday to Cornwall with their son Andrew one year.

Cottages completed- we moved into Apple Blossom . Bob & Carole Clarke, plus Becky & Gina, came most summer holidays. Carolyn Ramsey took over some of the cooking load from me: her husband Ian was a flight controller at RAF Leeming . All the cousins celebrated the arrival of Sam & Tom. And another Aysgarth Sports Day with the Readys.
