Default Daddy Rat
Hi y'all :
Just a quick visit to let you know that baby Niamh was born this afternoon following a short but intense labour ! Maggie and Niamh are both fine. For those that are interested, she weighed in at 6lbs 4oz. Anyway, will post a couple of photos, prob on Sunday.
Later...........

Congratulations Rat
Hope you're having a stiff one?
Glad it didn't drag on for the sake of Maggie & the little one.

Best wishes to you all

Fab news Ratty. Congrats!

Think I'll treat myself to a glass (or two) or Blossom Hill tonight along with Piglet. Can't see him having a drink on his own to celebrate of course
