These last few days have been a whirlwind. We’ve had three family birthdays ( our eldest son, mine and a great nephew’s) and our grandson decided to make his much anticipated appearance early on the 2nd July.
A very early morning message and then a call told us the news ‘ we’ve got a baby’. We already knew he was a boy, but the name was a total surprise to me
Ramsay Michael Morley
6 lb 9oz, at 8:11 am
I was very emotional, it had been a bit scary for them, but he arrived safe and sound, and Mummy did very well, in fact she looked amazing.
Ramsay was my maiden name, and Michael is Amanda’s Dad’s name, so very touched by the choices.
There will no doubt be much photo spam of Ramsay, who certainly has his Daddy’s facial expressions to a tee.
I have also been wined and dined with dinner out with Joe, Nicole and River for a pre birthday treat. We went to a lovely alfresco Italian in Maldon, definitely worth another visit.
Thursday was my actual birthday, and it was nicely chilled and a gorgeous sunny day. Dinner in the evening with Georgina, her partner and Kevin at Smith’s of Ongar was perfect with a chance to toast Ramsay too.
Friday I dodged the rain travelling to London to meet up with some ladies who lunch. We went to the Real Greek in Covent Garden and enjoyed chatting, listening and laughing about life and love.
Yesterday we had River and he picked some fruit from the garden, and enjoyed dinner so much he declared at the table ‘ you can make this again Morro’. Dessert was butterscotch angel delight with flake sprinkled on top. He ate 3 out of the 5, and loved eating it from a tea cup.
He entertained us and was so funny, his mind was doing somersaults as he continued to talk for ages. I read him The Elves and the Shoemaker, and when I’d finished he said I wish we were shoemakers.
The joy he has brought to our lives, and now with Ramsay my heart has doubled. Another precious little one to love, and to watch grow, as we watch his parents grow too. They are doing so well, I’m so proud of them both in the magical journey of parenthood. Can’t wait to see them all and to get our first hugs and cuddles.
Oh and England won on penalties to get through to Euro 24 semi finals…..
