Sophie and Duncan.

 

4th January 2000 Update:

Duncan, Sophie, Barney, Molly and Charlie are all fit and well as this page goes to press. The triplets are beautiful and well adjusted children, traits that no doubt come from their mother! Their father has certainly passed on his feeding habits!

They are all highly mobile now so nothing is safe in their vicinity. When the Pittaways hit town it is not unlike a tornado hitting the house. No adult can sit still for 5 seconds without an ornament/dog/sibling needing rescuing or a nappy needing to be changed.

We wouldn't have it any other way and everyone had great fun on Boxing Day when all six grandchildren attended lunch at Pesters Orchard.

Duncan's many business interests are best described as fluid. His property portfolio continues to expand and the Sunbeam Lamp Co. is making record sales of its economy, energy saving light bulbs. His latest visit to China has prompted a new business. He is hoping to start selling a large variety of handy DIY and garden tools by direct delivery and we have been busy helping him taking digital pictures for his catalogue.

 

 

 

 

6th January 2006 Update:

A long time since the last update and much has changed for Duncan & Sophie.  Equipdirect has come and gone so too has the Sunbeam light company.  Sophie no doubt sorely misses repackaging lightbulbs having put the triplets to bed a night.  What a thought to look back on in later life!

Duncan continues to wheel and deal in the comercial property sector and recently completed a full office conversion of a Chapel in Swansea.  From which he very kindly donated a substancial quantity of reclaimed floorboards for Jonathan’s barn conversion (thank you Duncan).

There are various car build projects on the go, the most impressive of which is a Fiat airship engined monstrosity to be completed this summer…..

An the there is the saga of their nextdoor neightbour moving his garden into their field….. Anyone needing a geography field trip to study subsidence should contact Duncan or Sophie immediately.  Truly tectonic scale, believe me!
