Photo from The Sunday Sun: my nephew second from left. |
What timing! Just after 3 o’clock Christmas morning, my new nephew, having delayed his arrival for two weeks, decided to make his grand entrance into the world. Like all our family, a show-off it would seem; he must have known the local paper in Newcastle would be on hand to photograph him for their Christmas Babies feature.
My brother, Stephen, and his partner, Helen, have given him the name John, my dad’s name: Mum and Dad are absolutely delighted.
The Angel of the North is summoning local shepherds and, fairly soon, Dougie, Rory and I will be travelling up the A1, following the North star, bearing gifts. Do they sell frankincense and myrrh on t’internet?
Absolutely fabulous! Just what teh doctor ordered!!!
Congratulations to the festive arrival and his proud parents!
Awwww, that is one gorgeous photo, don't you just love newborns 😀 Of course your nephew is particularly fabulous, congratulations 🙂 Jen
Awww – how cute. And what timing.
Give my love to everyone and be careful on the A1.
Welcome to the world baby John!
Congratulations to the happy parents and the proud auntie! 🙂
Oh wow, what wonderful news and a wonderful picture too. I used to work at the Sunday Sun but the less said about that the better! xx
Awww how lovely, congratulations Xxx
