The second part of our England trip was a family reunion in Wolston our “ancestral home.” Its where my mother parents, the Ismays, lived. And many of our relatives on the Ismay side still live in the area.

Four out of the five brothers came to the reunion:

Simon, Tom, Matt and Andrew

outside St Margaret’s the village church

We had a Sunday luncheon at the Queens Head an excellent pub in Bretford with our Aunts and Uncle and many of their children and grandchildren. What a nice family:

That is Joe in the middle

We of course took the obligatory outdoor group photo and it came out really well:

Almost of all of the photos in this section were taken by Eddy K. He is Matt’s long time friend and one of the worlds best photographers. Thanks Eddy!
