We have just had a couple of lovely days with Granny. Elsie got to spend some bonding time with her – and Rob and I got our meals cooked and our ironing done! Which is pretty blissful when life is as hectic as ours is. Granny took Elsie to have her 8 month (which is late cause she’s actually over 9 months now) check on Monday. She weighs 20lbs something, and is slightly long for her age! She is going to be tall like her dad – she can be a supermodel! (Only if she wants to of course though, I’m sure she will be capable of far greater things and intellectual achievements should she desire!) They were impressed with her development, especially her clapping ability apparently. She went back to see a doctor today to get some hydrocortisone for her eczema which has got really bad on her shoulders. After two applications it already looks somewhat improved though, so I am pleased with that.

Here are some piccies taken at Auntie Sally’s barbeque a few weeks ago – when Uncle Jim, Auntie Gail and cousin Arthur came over to Bristol from fancy London town.
