Chie's Family in the UK
|
|
|
| 10:37:07 Chie and the family at the hotel near Abergavenny where Chie's parents and Mikiko-san stayed. | 11:17:29 In front of St. Mary's Church in Abergavenny. | 12:18:07 Nice group picture of everyone with a glass of Pimm's at Vera and Robin's house. |
|
|
|
| 12:20:18 Chie and her parents relaxing in Vera and Robin's lounge. | 15:11:38 Vera and Mikiko-san on the back patio. | 15:12:39 ...bigger group picture... |
|
|
|
| 15:13:37 ...and another one. | 15:15:08 Chie and her Mum down in the garden. | 15:23:03 ...and back up to the patio for more group pictures! |
|
|
|
| 15:23:29 ...and more... | 16:41:26 En route to our evening venue, Robin decided to stop off in Skenfrith for a quick look at the castle... | 16:44:41 ...and the church. |
|
|
|
| 16:44:53 Chie and the family in front of Skenfrith church - what a lovely old building it is too. | 16:46:12 Looking through the door into the church... | 16:47:59 ...having a look round the inside. |
|
|
|
| 16:58:58 Back to Skenfrith castle (or the remains thereof) for yet more photo opportunities. A bit too far away methinks. | 17:00:31 Inside the main keep. | 17:02:48 Chie and Yuka simulating a battle. |
|
|
|
| 17:38:59 ...yet another picture of our guests in front of a church! Definite theme emerging here... This is in Ross on Wye, which we whizzed round in about five minutes. | 17:44:01 The market hall in Ross on Wye. | 18:06:37 ....and now the venue for our evening get together - the Lough Pool Inn, near Ross on Wye. |
|
|
|
| 18:22:41 Some of my family came to join us for dinner, so we had rather a good turnout in the end! | 19:19:33 ...at the table now, tucking into starters. | 19:19:38 The Japanese end of the table... |
|
|
|
| 19:19:46 My starter was a kind of feta tempura - very tasty. | 19:43:33 A shot along down the table. | 19:43:59 One from the other end, with the flash on. |
|
|
|
| 19:44:43 My main course, which I actually wasn't that keen on. Everyone else seemed to enjoy theres though. | 19:44:52 Yuka's main course, involving chicken and asapargus. It had these herby potato croquettes with it, which I rather liked. | 20:59:31 Yuka's dessert - creme brulee. |
|
|
|
| 21:00:53 Half the table again... | 21:01:06 ...and Vera pulling a face. | 21:30:24 Taken shortly before heading back home at the end of a very pleasant evening. The Lough Pool looks nice at night as well! |

| 21:34:09 Everybody saying their goodbyes in the car park. |
