These videos were shot in 1986. I've chopped them up into manageable chunks, although they are still large downloads (about 64Mb each). I've put them in a format that will let you take a copy - if you want to. The first set star my family in Prestatyn with my dad, Basil

Bernie and Gareth going for a walk in the woods at Blackhall Mill. Trish's mam Joan doing the same and Bonfire Night down on the green.

1986 summer in the IOM

Lots of clips of little ones playing.

1987 easter back in the Isle of Man. Silverdale, David and Gladys' and a trip to the park.

More play in the park and a trip in the car. Willaston, and more trips out with various tinys. Some refreshment at Groudle!

1988 Simon arrives!

The 2nd and 3rd clips of this video were shot one Sunday in late 1988. Grandad would have been round for lunch. (I think in retrospect that the cot was maybe a little over-stimulating!) I never saw much of the video camera, which was a shared acquisition with 2 work colleagues, after that - hence no more video clips for about the next 20 years!

1985 Berlin and Allensford

Our first foreign holiday - staying with the Sprys in Berlin. At the time the city was still partitioned so it was quite fascinating to get a glimpse of the East, Peter being able to come and go freely. The last clip includes a stay in a borrowed caravan in Powfoot (sw Scotland)

Also from the same year, walking the dogs at Allensford.

If any more videos turn up, I'll try to put them in the appropriate place. There's a video on the 2005 page of A+Gs New York trip for instance.
