Ok, I finally got around to resizing some of these and putting them in photobucket. They're a bit random and perhaps not representative of all we got up to while in the UK, but this is what you're getting. We did, while we over, get to visit nearly all of my close relatives, went to Bath, Brighton, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bourton-On-The-Water (and several other Cotswold villages), Bristol, Gloucester, London, and of course Cheltenham, where my parents live.

Tea in Broadway:




On the bus into Cheltenham:



Watching the mighty Cheltenham Town FC:




Walking up on Cleeve Hill (that's my father):



more to come...

Those are really nice!



To you and the missus.

In pubs:



"Just one more Guinness, I promise"

Very nice pics. Mon looks like she enjoyed the trip

Mon in a Glasgow taxi. We were visiting my brother, who lives there:



At the driving range, but playing with the smallest clubs we had (for Mon):




Brighton pier and then the lanes (bit like Brighton's version of Khao San Road):

Cheers guys. It really was a dream come true. Mon loved all the relatives she met (who made things so comfortable and easy for her) and they seemed to really like her.

Ok, last lot, from London:





I'm sure I'll whore out some other pics where applicable (or not) in other threads.

Wonderful shots. And your wife is absolutely beautiful, Fauxie!

Glad you had a good time.

We're back in Thailand now. I'm whoring out our new year barbecue pics on your thread.

And thanks for the kind words. Love your pic on that thread, by the way. Your niece is a cutie.

Aww, thanks! We had a ball. It was all a bit surreal at first after the rather arduous visa application process. At times it felt like it wouldn't happen, but there we were on the 25th having a proper family xmas with my family.

This is an incredible photo ...

glad you had a wonderful time

Mach said:

Bit heavy-handed with the ol' soft focus though.

Fauxie said:
