Introducing Toby.........

Here he is....the lovely little munchkin :)

This is Tobias Isambard Byrne and he was born on the 26th of November by c-section and weighed a very healthy 8lbs 1oz. He is the darling son of one of our very best friends Suz and her partner Gaz, you may recall we last went to visit the always-everso-yummy mummy-to-be in the week before he was born, so it was truly amazing to get to meet the baby that once was a bump called Jeff!

As well as being ridiculously gorgeous and cute, he seems to be a most calm, contented baby and I have to applaud Suz for being an incredibly natural mother. She should be so very very proud.

And finally...like the heartwarming story at the end of the news, I got to have a lovely cuddle and the little darling fell asleep on me. So Suz took the chance to dash to the post office with J to p-p-p-pick up a parcel and left me with sleeping beauty and Flea the dog. The two bookending me in a little sea of tranquility :) it was the most calm and content I have felt in ages surrounded by sleep and listening to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and I nearly fell asleep myself.

Perfect.
