New life

We're just about to put the chips on for dinner, when the phone goes. It's an excited PD. This friend of ours is trying to stay away from the Pub for a while, in an endeavour to lose some weight. As a result we haven't seen him since our last Monday of the month meal out. Anyhow he rings to let us know the good news. His daughter had just had a baby, a boy, to be called Adam George. Both are doing well, even though it was a breech birth so she'd had to have a caesarean.

As I told the Fox the good news, we both couldn't help smiling. And what a lovely name. Good solid names. He's Em's first born so Adam seems appropriate; George after his great grandfather who's still very much enjoying life despite his advancing years.

Later in the evening we open a bottle of rose Cremant de Loire. We toast the new arrival into this world & wish him a long & very happy life. We seem to have had a lot of bad news since our return from France, it's good to have something so positive to celebrate for a change.
