We visited Salisbury, Connecticut to watch the annual charity cricket match (although Tim found himself called upon to play for the home team) and help celebrate Pom and David’s 50th birthdays. While in the US we took the opportunity to visit Vermont and Maine.

When Pom and David did a Grand Tour of Europe, with Basil, Digby and Orla, we joined them in Paris.

Later in the year we took advantage of Sam’s year at Poiters University for another French trip, taking in Bordeaux, including vineyards.
