We celebrated Helen's father's 90th birthday in Devon on the 10th July. Helen's sisters and brother came for the occasion from as far as Alaska and Gabriel was very happy to see his cousins again after nearly three years and they were happy to meet their new cousin Simeon. Kai's father came for two days from Leipzig. Mike and Volker had last seen each other at our wedding on the 11th July in 2002. Which reminded us also of our 5th wedding anniversary!
