This photo was taken in May, Jacky's father Derick, with his 7 grandchildren. As those of you who have read our early blogs know, he used to be a builder in East Northants. We discussed buying the plot and designing the house with him. Sadly he died on October 21st, before he could see out house built or enjoy having us living nearer.
He throroughly enjoyed 3 family celebrations this year: the two weddings, and a barbecue held for his 85th birthday.
We held his funeral reception at Stanwick Lakes so we could look over the countryside he had loved his whole life.
