Meet the Family!

This time when Steph and I went back to England we got to meet nearly all of my family within a one week period. We took absolutely loads of pictures (literally 1452, to be precise) and so I thought I would share a few of them with you...so without further ado, let me introduce to you, the England Crew...


A good one of Steph and Jack kissing. Unfortunately Naomi's mom wouldn't let he come along on this trip, so she was missing.


Mum really enjoyed spending time with Jack again (she had come over to the States only two weeks prior to our vist over there). She was understandably very upset when we left.


This is my dad. Most of you haven't met him, as he was unable to come over to Steph and my wedding in 2004, but he is alive and well and still enjoying life in Portugal with his partner, Alyxx. Unfortunately she wasn't able to meake it up to England to see us this time.


I know he won't like this picture, but it is the only one I could find of him on his own! This is my step-dad, Howard. Being in the Navy for 30 years allows him to be happily married to my mum. Orders are orders, whoever is giving them!


Even making toast he looks mean! My brother Phil, enjoying a snack.


Just the cutest little girl ever! I met my neice, Poppy, for the first time on this visit. Phil doesn't get to see her as much as he would like, which I can sympathize with, but he is doing really well when he has her.


This is my brother Mark, with his girlfriend, Lou, who is lovely. Mark is is some need of a pair of shears.


This was a really good picture of Max, my youngest brother. He is definately a teenager (15 years old) as we hardly saw him all vacation as he was upstairs playing Xbox the whole time in his room. On a side note, I can't blame him, when i was 15 I was upstairs all the time, too, only I was whacking off.


My sister, Em, and her longtime boyfriend Darren, who really is a class bloke. He is in a band called Kortez, so look for him to be famous. If I can figure out how to do it, I will most one of their songs on my blog.


This is David, my youngest cousin. He now works behind the bar that we were all drinking at.


Aunty Thlema with her second son, my cousin, Andrew. Andrew is an absolute beer monster. The funny thing is that the last time I saw Andrew he was about 12 years old and about 5'1"...obviously, a few pints later, he grew up.


My cousin Ian, on the right, is my uncle Foster's (on the right) son. Foster is married to Thelma. You keeping up okay...?


This is my cousin Claire, with her fiance Peter. Peter is on the right.


The legendary 'Easy E' my uncle, with Jack. Going through some tough times at the moment, but taking it in stride as ever. Also has the largest collection of accidentally downloaded porn on his phone that I have ever seen....no wait...that I have ever 'heard' about.


This is my cousin Matt (Eric 'Easy E''s son), and his girlfriend, Emily. We met them a couple of times down at the pub, and Emily seemed very nice indeed.


Out of 1452 pictures, I managed to find ONE of Faye, my step sister and her husband Blake on their own together. Nightmare. Can't believe I didn't get a better one than that!


This was a cute one. This little man is Riley, my nephew, and quite simply the cutest little 2 year old on the planet...and the most well-mannered one. Also a good one of Faye and Blake.


One of the hardest people to actually get on film, Laura, my step-sister!


This is Anthony, my step-brother


This was Arthur, Anthony's son. He was adorable, and he and Jack got along like a house on fire!

...and finally some random group shots...
