Happy 30th Birthday

Happy 30th Birthday Doug!

First days at home

Meeting Granny Chris
in Stockport hospital

Grandad John in Buxton

Grandad Malcolm was very happy and
wished you’d been able to meet
Norma

Proud parents

First holiday in Scotland at just a few
months old (we walked half way up
Ben Nevis with you!)

Old pals Dave and Steve came to visit

Visiting Chichester and rubbing noses
with Mark, pre-Tom days

Meeting Sian Lyons at Tittersworth
Playground was a favourite day out

That ball’s nearly as big as you!

A bit unsteady on your feet!

With Grandad John at
Chatsworth - before your little
bro’ came along

And here he is - sweet Jacob!

Cathy, George and Ed visiting us and
newborn Jake

You quickly became best mates
and Jake less angelic!

You were a very tolerant big brother!

In Egridir with Granny Chris
and Grandad John

Lots of lovely beach days in
Turkey - here’s Skaidrite on a visit

As well as the beach we had great
fun exploring the Roman and Greek
ruins. There were no safety barriers
and you could clamber to your
hearts’ content

With Tom and Greg in Albury

Enjoying the snow in the Turkish
mountains

First day waiting for the school bus to
the Antalya International School. You
went on your own - very brave

With Dan and the nephews in Turkish
Cyprus - a big family holiday before
we returned to the UKy

Buxton Infant School photo -
what a cheeky grin you have!

With Tom and Greg - you’re
well into your music by now

Painting and playing Warhammer also
became a big obsession!

And then there was Tai’kwondo ....

What lovely dark hair!

On the flight to Southern France for
our first skiing holiday

With “The Devoted”

Fast forward to a trip to Chester Zoo
to celebrate Jake’s 18th birthday

And fast forward again to your
Graduation for your Master’s.
A very proud moment !

And this was the last time we
met - in your back yard in Hill Street,
Hobart

The family all send you their good
wishes for a very Happy 30th Birthday!

Mark’s, December 2021 -
all wishing you the best !
