Introducing my little sister Emily
Yesterday, whilst I was busy playing at Montessori my Mummy gave birth to a little baby. Now those of you who know me well will be aware that I desperately wanted a little sister. A boy simply wasn’t an option. I sensed it would be a girl from the moment Mummy and Daddy told me about the imminent arrival and hey presto, just as I thought, I have a lovely sister.
Would you like to meet her?
Would yer?
Would yer?
OK. Introducing Emily Rose Cate, born at 12.12 on Tuesday 10th February. Weighing in at 7lb and 4oz.

As you’d expect Daddy had to get in on the action so got into his scrubs ready to deliver the baby. He was most disappointed when they said he wouldn’t be required on this occasion.

Gran and Grandad took me to meet Emily. Gran was just a little excited to meet her latest Granddaughter.

Normal Service Resumed, almost
In October 2007, yes 2007, we began the extension to our house. Today the building inspector signed off on it some 15 months later. It has been a nightmare and along the way we have encountered some extremely challenging times and people. We’ve also met some terrific, honest tradesmen for which we are grateful.
It’s been some time since I last updated you, largely due to the sheer despair of trying to finish the project. In the run up to Christmas I spent every waking minute trying to get the house decorated. Alas, our final carpets were laid the week before Christmas.
A huge note of thanks to all those that have supported us through this trial of all trials. So, here’s the moment you have been waiting for. A few pictures of the completed house.

I still have an awful lot of landscaping to do when the weather gets a bit warmer and I manage to find some money growing on trees.
These pictures are especially for Nic and Jon who have just completed their first full year in Nepal. By the time they return to the OK not only will our house be completely finished, including the garden, but our latest arrival will also be a year old. What a frightening thought.
Look out for more updates just as soon as ??????????????????? is born.
Adios
