A grandson!

A strained wrist has kept me off the keyboard but the birth of Benjamin Patrick James two hours ago has made everything else pale into insignificance.

More news and photos to follow, in the meantime, here are a few pictures from Millie's birthday. She doesn't yet know that she has a baby brother and I won't be waking her to tell her tonight!

Some of the presents
Thank you for all the kind messages. I will be here for another week and then back home, where I'll be able to catch up with everyone.

  5. Congratulations all round, M. Shame about the wrist though! (The Only Other Blonde in the Village became a grandma - of a little girl - on Monday; will have to get you together soon and you can compare notes. There will definitely be cake.)
