My Girls

Well all's well in West Sussex this week, nothing much of note to report. I think if the sky stays this grey for much longer we''ll all have forgotten what SUNSHINE looks like!! We went to see my new grandaughter last weekend which was lovely, and stayed in pub/hotel in the next town along from them. After we had left the hotel on Sunday I realised I had left my specs behind, (I was wearing THE LENSES). I phoned and arranged to collect them later on. On our way home I called into the hotel bar, asked for them and was duly handed my glasses. Fine up til then. 'Oh no' says I staring at them 'they aren't mine' ... puzzled looks .... 'Mine don't look like that' .... staff 'Try them on, are you sure?' ...... 'No, no need they aren't mine' .... call the manager. Manager arrives 'Room 108?' .. me 'Yes' ... manager, 'You were the only people staying here last night and I found them on your bed this morning!' At this point I decided to try them on.... me 'Oh yes so they are!' and I beat a very hasty retreat feeling totally stupid.... really my contact lenses aren't so good you know...... I have put up some new photos, one of Daisy and the other two of Connie aged 4 days. Connie slept pretty much the whole time we were there but as soon as Mark held her she opened her eyes. (Typical little girl!!) Just like her sister Daisy who adores Mark and wants to play with him all the time, I think she and Mark have the same sense of humour..

IT'S A GIRL !!!!

Well she's here at last! My beautiful, perfect,darling new Grandaughter. Although she has arrived 3 weeks early she still took her time coming and eventually made her entrance at 3.12am yesterday.. 11/01/06. So she kept everyone up all night!! She's a healthy 6lb 2oz and her name is Connie Grace. Her sister Daisy was given a nurses uniform to wear when she visited the hospital yesterday and is taking the whole nursing thing very seriously as you can see! I think this picture is quite possibly the most beautiful one I will see this year. Here she is just 12 hours old ........ It really reinforces my memo of positive, brave and loving thoughts.........

I just had to share this joyous picture of one very happy little FAIRY! My great niece Tallulah, 14 months old, she spent the whole of Christmas day in her outfit.
