It’s a cakey sort of week and there's more to come. Two family birthdays and Caspar will be turning a quarter on Sunday. Here he is looking magnificent.

Beamish Boy

We have a grandson! Caspar James Beamish was born at 9.05 pm on Saturday May 8th to Hilary and Rob. He is the most beauteous boy the world has ever known.

Another Caspar was one of the Three Wise Men and some of the lines from TS Eliot's poem, "Journey of the Magi" are highly appropriate, eg. A hard time we had of it and such a long journey but also, happily, There was a Birth, certainly, We had evidence and no doubt.

Caspar is doing well and Hil is recovering.
