Willow and Claire

Our daughter Claire and granddaughter Willow came round this morning.

Claire as you can see is about to give birth in the next few days. Claire and Matt have bought a double buggy and Willow is test driving it (she's been told her brother or sister, "baby", will soon be sat in the other seat)

Exciting times ahead

Claire is looking well & happy Phil. Won’t be long now! Willow could put her dolly in there next to her for the time being! Perhaps not, she might not let the brother or sister back in!

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely portrait of the two (3) of them. Have they found out whether it will be a brother or sister, or will it be a surprise?
