We popped over to see friends and Godson today to celebrate the 1st birthday of the lovely Alex. Lots of friends for him to play with, lots of lovely new toys, including a trike, and fab food!
This past weekend we went up to Edinburgh. I have been studying at the University for the past term and this was my final study weekend. Gordon came too to spend time with friends.
We had a lovely time with Ally, John. Rachel, Matthew and Andrew. We didn’t see a lot of Rachel as this was a key weekend for her – a rite of passage, the weekend when she bought her first boyfriend home – it was my job to keep her Mum calm!
Ally had heard about a cake shop which sold enormous cakes…
Matthew wonders at such a huge eclair

We also went out to the Falkirk Wheel – what an amazing thing…

This evening we went to see Gemma and Al, friends of ours who have just had a new baby, the lovely Alexander Michael. He came an unexpected 6 weeks early and so he and Gemma are still living in hospital with Al visiting in between work, washing and dog walking duties.
We felt really priviledged to have been able to spend some time with them all and made me think a lot about the unexpected responsibilities of parenthood.
Do you think that Alex gets paid for advertising?
