<strong>RICHARD</strong> <strong>ALLEN</strong> <strong>SCOTT</strong><br />

THROUGH THE YEARS<br />

The earliest evidence of human activity<br />

within <strong>the</strong> Bourton-on-<strong>the</strong>-Water area was<br />

found in <strong>the</strong> Slaughter Bridge gravelspread,<br />

where Neolithic pottery (dated c.<br />

4000 B.C.) was discovered. Excavations<br />

give evidence of almost continuous<br />

habitation through <strong>the</strong> Neolithic period, <strong>the</strong><br />

Bronze Age and throughout England's<br />

Roman period (c. 43 to 410 A.D.).<br />

Bourton-on-<strong>the</strong>-Water<br />

Mum’s 80 th birthday<br />

Uncle Phil passed in October, so Sharon,<br />

Christopher and I made a quick visit to Rhode<br />

Island to attend his funeral.<br />

Robyne abandoned us for Christmas in<br />

Australia. Staying in hostels, she had her<br />

belongings stolen, including, of course, <strong>the</strong><br />

money. So, we had to bail her out. Think she<br />

found it a bit long down <strong>the</strong>re and was happy to<br />

get home.<br />

Tim joined Nestlé in November 1999 as a Route<br />

Planning & Performance Manager.<br />

Made a flying visit down to Sarnia in December to see Mum<br />

for her 80 th birthday, and Christine.<br />

I forgot that yes, we did get ano<strong>the</strong>r bird (“Birdie”), a<br />

cockatiel…this one belonged to Christopher who acquired it<br />

when he was living in an apartment with friends, but <strong>the</strong>n had<br />

to move back home…so<br />

we adopted it. It became<br />

a prolific egg-layer, so<br />

we found it a new home.<br />
