Skelton Family Reunion

On our trip to Devon and Cornwall, we were lucky to connect up with a cousin of Marshall's that moved over to the UK 7 years ago. Bobby is a cousin on the Skelton side of the clan. Marie was Arnold's sister and is Bobby's grandmother.

Long story short, Bobby met a wonderful girl in the UK and is now married and lives with Laura and her two girls. We were only lucky enough to meet Ellie as Jade was off to Euro-Disney in Paris. I'd like to say the highlight was walking up to the highest point in Plymouth or even touring the Abbey that was the home of Sir Francis Drake but I would be lying. It was almost the proper English breakfast that Laura cooked for us but that would not exactly be the truth. In all honesty, it was the biscuits and gravy that was the added bonus to the meal. You just can't quite find good ole southern gravy on this side of the pond and it was exactly what was needed to make me homesick for a grandpa Skelton's breakfast.
