All the Williams

We had a very important mission while in Ireland - to take a picture of the four Williams.

From left to right - William Hastings, known as Uncle George (I don't know why?! Maybe because his Dad was William too), William Hastings, known as Bill or Billy, William Hastings, known as, erm, William Hastings, and William Hastings, known as Liam.

And here's the two extras - would you believe Aubrey William Hastings and Samuel William Hastings!

Not a very imaginative family, namewise!



We took a LOT of pictures, between us.By the end of the photo session, I think Uncle George had had enough!Uncle George is Bills dad's brother, and I think they are really similar. I captured a moment between them......and another!Linda and William very kindly invited us all for tea - and we all loved spending the evening with them. They all made us feel very welcome.Rowena, Aubrey and Naomi took our kids off to play, even though the girls are much older than Megan.Leah, as usual, made herself at home, lounging on her newly met first cousin twice removed!Sam and Aubrey disappeared and had a lovely play until Sam...threw up everywhere! Yes, our first visit with William and Linda, and Sam threw up ALL the lovely dinner we'd eaten! And there was a whole lot of dinner to come up!

Bill was obviously on his best behaviour!

It was really kind of them to squeeze us in for a visit because the next morning, they were all heading to Dublin to take Rowena to start her teacher training. So it wasn't the ideal time for us to pop in. You wouldn't know 'cause they made us feel very welcome.After the third time Sam was sick, we decided we had spread enough germs around, and even though the rest of us would have loved to stay longer, we said our goodbyes. Hopefully we'll see them again soon, 'cause we really enjoyed their company.
