This
year, we were out and about in London, Birmingham and Blackpool, as
well as stopping off at various theme parks. Keep your eyes peeled for
the snowman..

2018
was all about revisitations: the Gower, Haworth and Stratford-upon-Avon
all get a look-in. And keep an eye out for at least one famous Andy... |

What
did we do this year? Well, we visited Teletubbies in Minehead, castles
in Cornwall and mills in the heart of Cheshire. There was an art
gallery. And there are lots of shots that look like they could be from
album cover photoshoots. It seems to have become a thing. |

Walls,
castles and priories. Cakes and jellies and ice creams. Stately homes
and amber forests. Oh, and cheese. Because you always have to have
cheese. |

Emily turns forty. The gang goes to Minehead. Visits to Weston-super-Mare, Beale Park and Stonehenge. |

Edward
gets big. Emily and James get a little smaller. Joshua's Minecraft
fixation blossoms. The Knights celebrate twenty years of happy marriage
(out of forty). And the whole family troops down to Kent to get in
touch with the past. |

Snow
in Shropshire, sun in Pembrokeshire, Daleks in Yorkshire. We host a mad
scientist party for our eldest, and at the end of the year make room
for the youngest. There is also a selection of interesting food items,
because you can never have too many interesting food items. |

Photos
from several birthday parties, decent chunks of the Ridgeway, National
Trust gardens, and swans, as well as our August holiday in
Pembrokeshire. Look out for all the Doctor Who stuff! |

I know it's really quite appalling to give your cats their own web page,
but we were blessed, in our case, with an extremely photogenic pair. We
never got round to making a web page for Woody,
our last cat, before he passed
away in August 2007, and I'm glad to atone for that here. This gallery
is filled with pictures of Moppet
and Tabitha
(tortoiseshell and tabby, respectively), whom we acquired in January
2008. There seem to be more of Tabitha, largely because Moppet hasn't
been seen since October 2008. |

A
number of excursions (including quite a lot of Ridgeway walking), a few
random shots of the boys, several birthdays, a couple of weekends in
Shropshire, my brother's long-awaited wedding, holidays in
Pembrokeshire, shots from Greenbelt and this year's holiday at Butlins
- and to finish off, a few from Christmas.

The
great plan to walk the Ridgeway commences. We visit Hatton Farm Village
again (and then again). The Isle of Wight has good weather, the Welsh
coast does not. Civilisation as we know it collapses in January with
the snow. Daniel celebates his first birthday, Thomas his third and
Joshua his fifth. Two old friends get married (although not to each
other). And James gets stuck climbing a wall. |

A
while back I came to the realisation that over the past few years,
we’ve seen some odd signs on our travels, many of which we’ve had the
good fortune to snap – so here are a selection. Some are intentionally
amusing, some previously sensible signs had been altered, either on
purpose or by accident, and rather too many were unintentionally funny. |

We needed a new hobby after all the Woolworths closed, and this is it:
literal takes on road signs. Like the Woolworths gallery, it was
Emily's ideas (most of our better ones are, actually). It's a project
we started a couple of years back but in many ways it's still in its
infancy, so please excuse us if some of these earlier shots are
somewhat half baked. We began in 2008, on a day trip to the Cotswolds,
before adding a few during an excursion to the Welsh coast - hopefully
this will grow as we visit new places. All suggestions welcome. |

Another
happy bundle of joy is welcomed into the fold, which meant more nappies
and less sleep. We enjoyed days out at Drayton Manor Park and Hatton
Farm Village and a week in Butlins. The usual suspects - Pembrokeshire,
Greenbelt - are all present and correct, and as a special bonus feature
I'll throw in not one, but TWO! murder mystery parties. Don't delay -

At
the tail end of 2007 we bought a new camera, which meant that quantity
of photos shot up and hard drive space dropped right down. 2008 was the
year we visited the Isle of Wight and had a long weekend in
Bournemouth. Not all our trips involved beaches: look out for a
gloriously spooky dovecot in the heart of the Cotswolds, an excursion
to the City of Brotherly Love, and Joshua in a ridiculous pair of
sunglasses holding an inflatable guitar. |

The
family increases by one, although we did lose a cat. Another visit to
Germany - this time in the late summer rather than midwinter - and
trips up and down the coast, as well as a fair amount of wildlife (even
if quite a lot of it was in cages). |

In
2006 we toured Yorkshire (well, bits of it), spent some time on the
Pembrokeshire coast (well, bits of it) and watched Joshua get much
bigger. Plus! Mrs Knight dressed up as shortbread. |

Fewer
photos of us, and a lot more of Eldest Son and Heir. Plus some cute
model houses, velvety bridesmaids, highland cattle, snowy Bavarian
landscapes and a very strange leopard coat. |

Herein:
assorted coastal excursions (UK and abroad), ramblings in and out of
Oxfordshire, and pictures of the cat. And, of course, the wedding
gallery, which is still intact in its entirety. |

As
good a place to kick off as any. There aren't too many of these,
because my annoying tendency to document absolutely everything on
camera didn't really begin until mid 2004, when Emily and I were living
together. Still, it's a start. "I believe in starts. Once you have a
start, the rest is inevitable." |

It
broke my heart to see Woolworths go under a couple of years ago, not
least because it seemed to spell the inevitable end to our photo
campaign. Suffice to say we're getting round as many as we can, before
they take down the signs. There's almost enough for a book. |
