First up was a relaxing friends and family hog roast in their back garden, where the food was delicious, there was plenty room for the kids to run around, and us sisters got a good nosey at all the old family snaps and artifacts. My great-uncle is my Granny's brother - and the last of that generation - and it's fascinating to see all the past generational links coming together in photos and through the family tree.

On Sunday we celebrated the renewal of their vows before eating lunch at the magnificent Keele Hall, a 19th century manor house and now part of the University of Keele where Uncle Gilbert worked for over thirty years.

What a fantastic gathering of the family it was... and totally worth the playing of musical-motorways on the way home.
