A huge thank you to everyone who has showered us with love and good wishes since the arrival of Benedict Peter on the 7th! We really have felt overwhelmed and overjoyed at the huge number of people sending us messages of support. So thank you one and all!
As you can see everyone is thriving as we adjust to a new recruit in the fold. Jemima is being an incredibly good ‘big sister’ if a little miffed at losing out on mummy occasionally. Hayley is exhausted but doing a stirling job- the demands on a mother really do shame us men, no matter how helpful we try to be. And Benedict himself is piling on the weight in his early preparations for a place in the England front row of the future. This lovely photograph was taken earlier in the week when Hayley’s brother and his family paid us a visit. Accompanying Jemima and Benedict on the sofa are Marcus and Joseph, proud cousins!
