The Brandon Family Album: Volume VII
Family man Christopher's concern extends just as much to his pets Pixie...
...and Weeble,...
...as to his grandchildren. He and Giles in particular have bonded over a shared love of music, and Christopher is more than happy to pass on his extensive knowledge of the topic.
He and Marianne are united in their determination to keep up their fitness levels, even in their elder years.
I think they need to be more conscious of not overdoing it though!
Youngest daughter Joanna is still at home with them, and has other plans for this hot, summer's afternoon.
Although in the past she and Hester were an item for a while, Louie seems to have finally captured her heart like no other.
She wastes no time in making her long-term intentions clear.
But Louie is left cold by the proposition of a more fixed commitment. What is it with everyone wanting to tie them down, just when life is beginning to open up for them?!
Joanna has little option but to divert her energies into her own career, with positive results!
As autumn draws in, it's time to say goodbye to Merybury's most preposterous pooch. For now, she's laid to rest in the peaceful back garden.
The Brandons can't bear to be without a dog for long though, and new friend Abbey is soon welcomed to the family!
She's friendly and affectionate...
...if a little high-spirited.
But they're all sure she will fit in just fine, with a little patience, and firm but kind training.
