| In early September we travelled back to Wallasey for a weekend to celebrate the 90th birthday of Rachel's Grandmother (a.k.a. "Gargs"). | |
| To the amusement of all, the grandchildren plotted to create a mock-up of the day's paper... | |
| "Chris Bowes: I owe it all to my mother" | |
| A montage birthday card, photos from 90 years. | |
| Another amazing cake from Al's mum with sugar flowers. | |
| Demonstrating the world-renowned lace-tying technique which Gargs has shared with lucky individuals. | |
| The following day at Claremount Church, celebrating again with friends. | |
| And a final relaxing Sunday afternoon in the Wallasey sunshine before heading back to Italy. | |
| Rachel struggles to get to grips with the hammock and ends up on the floor! |
