Toby took some pictures while Adam and Lorna were up here - Adam is now Leon's Godfather - Michelle is Godmother, we are looking for one more bloke...
It was really nice to be able to talk to Lorna about what being a parent is like and answer her questions, she's a bit younger than yours trully but is starting to get the biological clock ticking as far as a possible family might be concerned. She too likes the idea of real nappies so it was good for her, as it was when Melissa and Sue both showed me their reusables so to speak, to see a mum using them. Reusables are dead easy, shove in washing machine and hang up to dry, not exactly hard really and saves money and the environment too.
On Stevie's birthday (Toby's god son), we went up to Twycross Zoo for the day, it was great fun, the gibbons were the star attraction. I didn't realise they had so many primates there, as much if not more than the place I went to near Apeldoorn, De Apenheul which has the largest collection of Primates, alot running wild among the visitors in the NL if not further afield. We left Stevie's birthday present at home in the rush to get everything for Leon for the day which was a Duh moment about 3/4 of the way there. I went into the shop at the Zoo and bought a Penguin card, don't ask why a penguin, I thought Stevie might like penguins. Afterwards we went back to the shop with stevie to pick out a present for him and he picked a penguin soft toy! This now goes to bed with Stevie. I will dig out the picture Teri sent us of him in his cot with his mate the penguin and post it.
First pictures of Adam and Lorna's visit on the 22 April, then Stevie on the 24th April.
