Well, here she is......my new granddaughter, Olivia. I went up to snowy Derbyshire to meet her - and she is gorgeous (although I admit I'm slightly biased!!) Once in my arms, I was switched back to the whole maternal bit - rubbing the back, winding, rocking, jiggling etc. etc. It does seem to come very naturally. I think my d-in-l was wishing I lived a whole lot nearer ..... and so was I. It's hard when a distance separates you - particularly from the children. Still, never mind, I managed to see all three of my offspring plus 4 out of 5 grandchildren this week, so I am happy. The snow further north was stunning. I've never seen such depth before, but oh my....the sadness of all the body bags in the fields was absolutely heart-wrenching. Thousands of sheep have been buried in the snow - unbearable. Today is Easter Sunday however - and I always feel there is hope of new life and things to come...which reminds me, I am supposed to moving into my new house this week....................HAPPY EASTER!Sunday, 31 March 2013

She looks adorable! And I'm intrigued by her top in the first picture. Sewn on sequins and net? How pretty!x
