Hi granny to be.
So now we have 2 babies and a wedding gone public.
Anyone else out there with anymore good news to share?

Well, as you know I already had this snippet of news. I can't believe you are going to be a granny (you're younger than me for goodness sake) but I bet you'll be a brilliant one, and I bet Leah will be a lovely mum. Much love to all!

Perhaps it was because you didn't give anyone a clue about the when and where of it. Not even in the form of a puzzle where we had to do a map trail followed by something like the DVP Advent calendar (December Bonus Puzzle). All we had was that it was somewhere in the Lake District in May.

Now if we'd known you were expecting us, we would have been there in force. However, you other guests would have been a bit gobsmacked with the loony puzzle bus load turning up!!
I love this thread. It's such a feel good place to be! Keep posting nice news here everybody, it cheers me up.

Funnily enough, the wedding car broke down outside the house and we had to hitch a lift in the community minibus which was taking guests to the hotel for lunch.
it was the only decent photo we got with our flower girl, my 2 year old grand-daughter, who fell in love with the bus and wouldn't get off!
