WEDNESDAY 17 MAY     LITCHFIELD

A usual working day. I did not finish until 6pm, by the time I’d made two mango cheesecakes, and cleaned up the kitchen.

Son phoned in the morning. They’d had a baby boy today – born at 12.15am. He weighed in at 7lbs 12ozs – lighter than his sister had been, but longer. All was well. I approved of the names they had given him, with my father’s  as his middle name.

At our happy hour at our camp, we toasted the new member of the family – with beer!
