Our new grandson - update

For the benefit of family and friends, here's a quick update on Alison and Richard's new baby! Within a few days of hearing the news, we packed an overnight case and dashed down to Dartmouth for a quick visit!

What a little stunner he is! A mass of dark hair and a thirst like his step-grandfather! And, oh, was grandma a happy bunny?!!!

A very proud Grandma with Thomas

We only had time for an overnight stop - we had to get back to pack for our week on the high seas and both Alison and Richard were rather tired in any event. However it was great to see them.

And we've since heard that they've chosen the names - Thomas Edward Sampson Bland. Ali was quick to explain that the name Samson was chosen after the name of an island in the Scillies that they both love and not because of his long black locks!
