introducing Isla

There's one little reason why there's not been a post these past few days.

All 7 pounds 1 ounce worth of reason - my lovely little grand-daughter, Isla, born on Tuesday evening just in time for the 6 o'clock news.

(Not that the News programmes included a mention of her birth!).

Finding the time and the place for some internet access was not that high on the list of things to do down there. Hence the lengthy 'silence'.

My apologies. Here, then, are a few pictures. Since it's the photos you'll want to be seeing, I guess, and not her grandpa's words.

Here she is, just a couple of hours into what we loosely call 'the real world'.

One day old, she's had a bath, and you can tell she's going to be blond.

Into her second full day of being on view to the general public - and oblivious to all the attention!
