Who we are.

Welcome to the web page of the Bates family. This is mainly intended for family and friends but anyone is welcome to take a look.

We are an English family who have had the luck to travel the world, living in Belgium and the USA. Right now (November 2003) we are preparing to return to the UK to try and be normal again.

Here's some pictures so you know what we look like now.

Cate (nearly 4) and Anna on a Spring day in St Louis.

Jack (7 years old now) and Chris after a muddy biking session.

Our dog Lucy, not quite a puppy anymore and 'Mr P' the newcomer.

We also have a hamster 'Treelo' but he's so small and fast we've never been able to get a decent picture of him.

We have had the good fortune to make a lot of great friends in our travels but because of the lifestyle we have lost touch with a few of you. I will add an e-mail address on this page when we get settled in the UK, so please check back soon.
