RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted October 31, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2012 At last our new granddaughter is here! Born at 1245. Weight not yet known. Named Alice Marie. Beautiful, according to Mum. Both well; Dad too! Heading for Crewe, doing 80 mph on M5 near Worcester. More anon! Great news Ashers, but please slow down a little! Speed will not kill you, it is usually the massive and sudden deceleration It is better to arrive at your destination 40 minutes late, than to be waiting for the Ferryman at the River Styx 40 years early!

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 31, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2012 Glad the ordeal is over, and you can get on with your grandmotherly duties, Ashcombe Girlie! Seems likely your iPhone will be a lifeline for the next few days as you take on mum's daytime role while she recovers. If Happy Hippo is right, and by convincing hubbie to slow down you avoid Styx for another 40 years - that should see you into 3 figures! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted October 31, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2012 Great news. It was quite funny at the homecoming of our new niece watching the Grannies being polite about who got first cuddle! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done grandma (well everyone normally congratulates the parents but some of the credit must go to you as well ) Nice names too, glad to see the influence of tv etc does not pervade the home of your daughter. Trust mum & and babe are doing well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted October 31, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2012 Many congratulations Ashers, As a matter of interest will you be known as Gran,Granny,Grandma, Nan, Nanny or something else? My better half declared that under no circumstances was anything beginning with Gran to be used when referring to her as it was bad enough being married to a Grandad!

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 31, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2012 So could have been during the summer months. Ha ha ha ha You wouldn't be saying that if you'd been to Skegness on a summer day. And here's a bit more grey(ish) sea for you - complete with some grey land - Hartland Point - visible off the starboard bow 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted October 31, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2012 One of the things that surprised me on our Mediterranean holiday was just how blue the sea was. It was the bright blue that little children use for the sea in their paintings not the grey usually seen round the UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted October 31, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 31, 2012 This so reminds me of our little cruise to Heligoland last year, Mike. How I wish to be back on the shore... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heligoland, swapped for Zanzibar back in Queen Victoria's reign. Some places have interesting histories! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just sent Old Gringo a PM with the location of a couple of places near Pete's home where phones can be charged. Of course they may not be within walking distance but perhaps they are.
