We went on a walk around Pete’s home village of North Ferriby. The pictures are here. In 1937, wooden planks belonging to an ancient boat were discovered by a local man on the shore of the Humber at North Ferriby. Originally estimated to date from 1300 BC, newer estimates using radiocarbon dating have placed the boats between the years 1890 BC to 1700 BC, in the Bronze Age. The Ferriby boats are the earliest known boats found in Europe. Learn more about them here.
Here is some information on North Ferriby during World War II.
Kate,
I couldn’t find your email address so I thought I would leave a message on here. Sorry we haven’t written yet life has been kind of busy as I’m sure yours has too. Sorry to hear about Pete not getting the job. Hope all is going well. We will send more pictures soon.

I am Megan’s sister Kera, you took care of my dog Chex for me. Megan showed me your website today and it is beautiful. Your kids are gorgeous, and world travelers at such a young age. They are so lucky to get to see the whole world. You are an excellent vet, and I am not worried about you or Pete finding jobs…we are still praying for you back here. Keep the faith, and things will start to happen for you. You are such a sweet young family. All the Best, Kera McBride
