Uncle Ross has a tradition. Every year he has to invite all of us to his house in Newbridge and make sure we are all fed and watered. It's a good tradition. So far we've had Newbridge 07 - way back before Ríodhna was born. Ross provided location and booze. Jill & Mark cooked the food. This time we have Ríodhna and Auntie Emma has a baby in her tummy. Someone having a baby in their tummy may well be part of the tradition too. Mammó took charge of the food with Jill doing started. Uncle Jamie was very excited - something about Tesco and great value on wine so you have to buy the good stuff. So everybody did.

Although there's no children living with Ross and Denise, there is a swing. Look. We entertained Ross and Mark with the swing for hours.

There were games from grown-ups too. They were mostly all trying to play baseball on something called a Wii (Wee?) - it looked very funny. They were just hitting out into fresh air. At bedtime, we had to go home but I think Mark and Ross and Jill played with the Wii a lot that night. I'm not sure whether Mammó joined in or not though.
