Snookered!

28 Dec 2013: Des has a full size snooker table in the basement (the room appears to have been built for this purpose) and we have a couple of games of Pool. Mostly based on oldies against youngies...

DNC lining up for corner pocket, Felix and Des watching

DNC striking the red off the cushion....

Suddenly a sister tries to show older brother how snooker cues should be used!

Felix 18th birthday party

28 Dec 2013: We went to Desmond's house to take part in Felix's 18th birthday party celebration. 

David threatens to pour fruit dessert over Florence (knowing that it is jelly and can't pour, but did she know that?)

The staircase at Salisbury Rd is regularly used for stacked up family photos, so here we are with the birthday boy.

Des makes his father's speech, slightly emotional, as if Felix about to emigrate to Australia....

We don't think he is emigrating :) , although he might try the pub soon, now that he has passed 18.

After most people have gone, the remaining family relax and eat leftovers.... we leave at about 830pm.
