Developmental milestones

Is she going to be a world class crawler or simply a world class piano player? Great expectations may ruin this girl...

Family geneology

Soon to follow is a potted history of the Bowling family. Grandad Bowling retired earlier this year, so now there's no excuse, eh dad? Stories from missionary Africa and gunning down German planes will all form part of the enthraling history of our family. For the most part, it should be easy to trace our line, since we have been in Pembrokeshire for the last 3 centuries. There hasn't been a female Bowling in the family for over 60 years since Peggy, so thats all the excuse I need to put in another photo of Morwenna. Under duress I have to change this photo, since some miserable buggers (I mean you lee) dont like it. So here is another;

A Scilly wedding in the shotgun Isles

Toby, Beany and Mike. Christa is the the one without the hat, umbrella or suit rolled up at the elbows.

At enormous expense, our plans for a truly international extraveganza ended with us squarely in the Scillies. The windows of the registry office were sand blasted, and the only 3 other people to come weren't even invited (cheers boys!) The 9th of September will remain a special date; If not, I'm in the doghouse.

Early Days

This posting is not for the faint hearted. If the sight of blood and makes you cringe then look away now... For the rest of us, check out the Morwenna's torpedo head straight after birth. For any chiropractors viewing, how long do cranial sutures remain mobile for? Answers on a postcard please

This scan was taken at 20 weeks. You may see the classic profile of the Bowling button nose and Sinclair chin already in the making! God help her

Family and friends

As you would expect, after letting the dust settle lots of friends and family crowded round to see the new line of Bowling's Reproductions.

Morwenna

A star is born. The 24th of October (4 days beforeChrista's) will be a special day for me. Apart from Morwennas birthday, it will remind me I have 4 days to get something nice for Christa...

Cosy toes. Thanks for the socks Merle
