Ninna & Gwaddad - Four Times & Counting!!!

Many apologies but I've been a little slack on the blogfront this year, so on a quiet Sunday night at the Welbeck, I'll try to make amends.

By far the best thing to happen during 2014 was undoubtedly for us the arrival of Jack James Cargill.

His mum, Elizabeth (though known to everyone else as Libby,) once worked here too but she now has a senior sales position at Cosmos in Stockport and is of course our eldest daughter.

I am not sure quite what she and her husband, Rodney are trying to tell us but they married when we were away on holiday and we were in Australia when Elizabeth gave birth just before Christmas.

Although we had a video link to the first event, I can proudly announce that Rodders isn't as stupid as Robbie Williams and we were spared a live link to the arrival of young Jack!

That having been said, things didn't go quite according to plan during labour but as you will ascertain from the photographs, the young fellow is now thriving and mother is also healing well.

In fact his progress is quite remarkable: Here's the Valentines card he bought and wrote out for Mum ;)
