Ivy’s here!

My little granddaughter arrived to stay for the first time.  Bringing son and his partner with her.  It was all quite emotional as they’d never been here although I’d been up to see them in London.  The weather was warm, we sat on the grass, ate lunch at the new table, went for a walk and heard a cuckoo in the woods above the house.  

In the evening we had a celebratory restaurant delivery dinner from one of our favourite restaurants, Luca in Clerkenwell...

The picture is of Ivy, swaddled for bed. Swaddling newborns is very much what’s done at the moment, I remember trying it with her father probably a bit too late as he was a terrible sleeper - didn’t go down well.  

Happy days.
