"Returning to our Roots "
May 2005

On May 14, 2005 Daddy and I set out on a wonderful trip to England. We started the trip with my cousin Roger picking us up from the airport and going back to his house in Didcot. Cousins Ann and Jerry had arrived from America a few days earlier so we had a wonderful family Sunday dinner. The trip continued beautifully from there . . .

Mark Hedger and his siblings were born at Malthouse Cottage. While in England Jo and I took a trip back in time to see where our grandparents were born. I must admit it was a wonderful experience; being in the birthplace of my grandfather and her grandmother.
