I'd like to introduce my cousin, Claire Holdstock Stevens! We met for the first time yesterday, and she is absolutely lovely - of course. I met her mum and dad (Pat and Bob) Friday at the Chico Farmer's Market.

It will be so much fun getting to know "family" as I thought us Holdstocks were all but extinct. It will be even more exciting in mid October when my mum and dad come down, and we can have our first ever extended Holdstock family reunion. If only Sharon and Joanne could come...
