A great-uncle again, this time by marriage. DW’s niece had a little girl this morning, eight and a half pounds. And we are a child-centred family, even before we had DS we had rellies’ and friends’ children round and we still do. This is DW’s first great-either and the new mother is a lovely, lovely young woman, she and I have adored each other since we first met when she was about the same age as her daughter is now. She lives near us and we hope to get a lot of baby-sitting.
As you will guess I am a sentimental old slushpot and am weeping with joy. I want a GS of my own Are you listening, DS? but in the meantime I am happier than I can say.
So if you all stand up and cheer perhaps I will hear you!
