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!
