A couple of family things

Erica celebrated her birthday on 15 February with this cake!

Erica’s birthday cake, beautifully made by our daughter. Allegedly the figures are members of the family.

Erica and I drove to Coventry on Friday evening to attend the UK Training Institute Tutors’ Conference. Of course (of course?) we went via Northampton so that I could meet our new granddaughter, Maya, for the first time.

Erica, lucky thing, had said hello to Maya a few days before. So I got to hold Maya, who fell asleep in my arms (after a bit of wriggling and complaining) and slept for a good hour.

Health warning: I’m about to bore the pants of non-grandparents.

Sorry, I can’t help myself, but I have to say that she is really lovely - she doesn’t look a bit like Winston Churchill. However, she is giving her parents a hard time. She’s demanding to be fed about once every hour and Vicky and Tom are exhausted.

I assured them that it will get better. Until, that is, Maya enters her teens…
