Renewing Family Ties

It was just five years ago this week that my whole family revealed the outcome of a Cunning Plot, months in the planning. Every single one of my chidren (three) and their partners and children conspired to get themselves to a holiday house in Catalonia, and then get me (and Malcolm of course) there too, without my suspecting a thing, to celebrate – extremely belatedly – my 70th birthday.

We had a whole weekend of catching up, of playtimes, of long lazy meals and silliness on the beach …

… and the memories will last me for the rest of my life.

For Becky’s #SquaresRenew Challenge, she’s inviting us to post square – only square – photos on the themes of Burgeoning; Moving Forward; Reconstruction; or Renewal.

      1. Yes. Getting the entire family together is very tricky especially when they don’t all live in the same country.

    1. Oh, I’m going to get in first with birthday greetings! June is an excellent month to have been born: it was the choice of about half my family. Enjoy your celebrations, you young thing you!

  20. What wonderful, unforgettable memories were made renewing family ties, Margaret. In the end, our greatest hope for our children is that they embrace the love we gave them and remember the memories we shared together – memories that will sustain them after we have moved on in our journeys. ,
