The Buggs meet the Buggs...Again

Monday morning we left Derby around 8AM and followed Pat's Google directions and the GPS exactly. We did not make 1 wrong turn and arrived in Lakenheath, Suffolk by 11:15AM. Ann Bugg was home waiting for us with the welcome of the world.  We immediately felt at home and in the presence of family.  Just knew we clicked last May when we met (for the first time) in Bury St Edmund's.  Peter and Terry Bugg share the same grandfather, George Bugg.  After our meeting last year Ann and Terry began the process of organizing a Bugg family reunion.

What a gardener!











After Terry arrived home from work in the early afternoon we got papers and information out and had a great time reminiscing about family and what each person remembered and discovered through family research.

Going over the family tree.











In the evening Emma arrived after her work day and we all went out for proper British fish and chips in Brandon.  This is the town that their grandfather, George Bugg, lived and worked and died.  More family history later.  After dinner we returned back home for Victoria sponge dessert.  What a great day to get to know our extended family better!!!
