portraits and snippets: my cousin Mark

Mark and I had barely seen each other since our families shared beach holidays in Wales when we were children. Life, as it does, intervened.

Now Ray and I are spending time with Mark and his family at Llangower.

In my shot Mark is pouring the champagne to celebrate his family practice’s success this weekend winning the ERMA’s Solicitor of the Year award from News on the Block.

Bubbles with the meal again tonight. Congratulations!

I’m thinking of Auntie Betty’s smile too of course and I can also hear her in Mark’s voice sometimes!
