Stephen and Paulie arrived in Oxford to spend the last week with James and Neil. Lovely. We got to see James in action protesting against the Tar Sands mining in Canada - something we only saw from afar last year. This year the protest conincided with Valentines Day and was recorded by the organisers. James joined Paulie and Stephen in London for a few days and it was just lovely to chill out in good old Oxford. We also had a wee ceremony to note the passing of Grandma Terry 12 months ago. It's the second time we've left James therein the last year :-) Leaving James as well as Olivia was a big ask on the emotions.
On return from France we added to Jame's beret gift with a shirt. He can't escape French ancestory
