Family gathering for mum's birthday

My mum and her five children together for her 88th birthday. Note to self: put satchel down for photo shoots. I've forgotten why I was carrying my sister's cardigan.

<< This pic shows my niece-in-law with her baby, my new great-niece, my eldest daughter, my sister, Mum, and my eldest niece. Below are my eldest nephew, Mum, eldest brother, uncle (mum's brother; my dad was an only child).

Mum has five kids, fourteen grandkids and, so far, five great-grandkids, with two more due this month.
I have two grandchildren, bro holding onto mum on the bank is about to become a grandad, next bro has three grankids (one of whom is just visible in the background; she didn't want to be photographed), and one due soon.


Because of my broken arm, DerbyshireDaughter and I travelled by train and bus from her house in Derbyshire (on the Manchester side of the Dark Peak) via Preston, to the meetup on the eastern edge of the Lancashire Fylde.
