Just another Fort for the Day.

Firstly, can I announce that I've become a Great Grandparent over night, my Granddaughter Jade gave birth to a little girl, Esme weighing in at 8lbs 11ozs. Secondly, I have been dieting and it has taken me 5 weeks to lose 12 pounds, and my Granddaughter can lose nearly 9 pounds over night, that's not fair.

So this gave me a thought (FORT) for the day, a new life is born and another has gone in this past year. This is the resting place of my Sister Mo, on the beautiful hillside going up to Rodborough Fort, a Victorian folly above Stroud, that's the fort not my Sister mind you (Wink).

Congrats. May she bring you much joy. Life is unfair in many ways. At least you won't have many sleepless nights ahead and dirty nappies to change?
