INDIANA, GEORGIA & MAVIS

Well OK: I only managed nine days' silence. Have to blog today to say that yesterday was very special (for me and mine, that is). It saw the arrival of my first granddaughter, Indiana, a daughter to Gabriel and to Cath Woodhall, in Shrewsbury Hospital. They're all doing well; no photos yet. I shall be seeing them later this month.

And as it happened, an hour before Indiana arrived in the world, Sarah and I acquired a new dog. Digby died in February and we finally felt ready. We got her from the not very nice dog-rescue centre outside Auch, where she'd been for four months after being found abandoned near Toulouse. Their vet thinks she's four years old. She's a wire-coated pointing griffon, mostly black and brown, and her new name is Mavis. Photos already, of course.

As for Georgia (USA) and New York, the following talks of mine are now confirmed for October:

Hi Michael. Congratulations on your first granddaughter. May I suggest two songs to contemplate the continuity of life. 'Forever Young' by Dylan of course, and 'The moment I saw you' by Nicolette Larson.

From another Granddad, Brian O'Connell
