Like the other kids, not trying to describe her life as like her sister and brother, Diana has lived an interesting life, with extensive travel, interesting jobs and careers etc, etc. So just some photos to capture just some of her life.
She was born on 7th October 1969 at 25 Firfield Road, Addlestone in Surrey. I was present at her birth and have to admit I had never hear Valerie swear so much, but never having to give birth I cannot fault her. She produced a lovely baby who grew into a great woman.
Here is a video of her christening with her Mum and Dad, Jan and Don, Fluff, Jimmy and Jo Bussicott, Laura and Charlie Tanner, Pauline and Michael Barton and the Bussicott and Barton children. My uncle George Bussicott took the video
Some early photos with grandma
This is how she gained weight. Nearly 8 lbs at birth – no wonder Valerie was swearing
What a sweetie!
At Limetree Avenue with Fluff
Diana grew up in Hong Kong, moving there when she was just three. Her first school was Kennedy Road
and a Kenedy Road class visiting the ATV television studio
and later at Peak school where she went to school via the Peak Tram
and a couple of school photos
With her childhood spent there her best friend was Dominque Oldcorn, a friendship which also covered the UK and Spain and still continues while Diana is in England and Dominque in America.
How about some videos – again thanks to uncle George
Diana on her bike and rocks with me

We went regularly to our holiday home in Spain, La Zorrita
including these two photos

When Jo and I moved to Spain Diana visited us almost every year and here are photos from 2000 to 2009
Diana has travelled the world and I only have a record of a couple of her trips. However she has been to an incredible number of countries in all the continents – look at this and appreciate a true traveller of the world. Some favourites

She volunteered to work in the London Olympics in 2012 and we saw her a number of times on television in the Ladies volleyball matches. A couple of these below
There’s a page of various photos taken in the UK which didn’t fit anywhere else so they are thrown in here, but including some good ones
My favourite of my three kids at Thames Ditton
At Amanda’s wedding in November 2010
Short hair!! Shorter than Jan’s
Then a big event in her life. She met John Rosie and they came to us in Spain in April 2013, which began a separate section in the website, The Rosie Family
And then on 5th of October 2013 a big day – her wedding to John. This needs a lot of pages and includes a video of John and Diana dancing. Some of my favourites
And she found the time to be a successful published author and her books can be found on her website
