This is Brenda my sister, the matriarch of the English branch of the family. One of the most gracious and kind hearted people you could ever wish to meet (I had to say that as I stayed with her ) Every morning we started the day with Eggs, Sausage Bacon, Mushrooms and Toast, with ginger marmarlade, I think I gained 2 stone (a stone is 14 lb )

Here is Alan, the rock of the Fox clan, always steady and calm. The one to turn to in times of adversity, can fix anything from plumbing to electricity and all in between, and usually has to fix them. Alan is now counting the days to retirement, 2 years 3 months and a few days, give or take. He plans on working for Appleton Wood Farm after he retires.

This is Jane, a wonderful mother, wife, and neice.who runs the family with a lot of love, and sometimes a frying pan upside your head. the sparkplug of the Fox family.

This is James (the one with the hat) not the killer dog. A wonderful young man with normal hair.

The next youngest Fox is Simon, a good looking young man except for a strange haircut, but he's young and may grow out of it.

Uncle Geofrey's report

Hello everyone, this is Uncle Geoff reporting from England. I was to report every day, but the internet is only on every fortnight, so here is my first report.

Here is the youngest member of the famous "Fox" family. All wanted to join the Appleton Woods Farm blog. Unfortunately we only received one hat so everyone had to take turns. Amy was lucky.....she had the first turn.
