This volume records major anniversaries, the leisure activities of the retired and milestones in the
lives of growing grandchildren (and others).
It covers mostly the 1980’s, early 1990’s
and increasingly sparse events through to 2010.
The identification and dating of most of the photos was done by my parents in the 1980s, and is sometimes
approximate.
Where I have had grounds to disagree, my interpretation has prevailed.
I have added other photos from my earlier works which are complementary to the current subjects.

(In some cases, the reverse of photos were scanned at 200dpi.) The resulting images were saved in JPEG format at 5% compression in "large" folders. The image was also cropped (where appropriate), reduced to a reasonable size for on-screen viewing and saved at 25% compression in the same format in "small" folders. An HTML wrapper has been provided to facilitate on-screen viewing.
If you know some HTML then —
< spin> The HTML wrapper has been kept very simple to afford maximum compatibility with an unknown target of browser types and versions. < /spin>
< fact> I don't know much HTML and have cobbled this together as best I can. I hope it works. < /fact>
