Dear All, Just to let you know that baby 'Florence Daisy' was delivered safely late Christmas eve.

Also, a week ago:

The English Folk Dance and Song Society has announced that Shirley Collins and Eliza Carthy have been elected by their members as its president and vice president respectively.

That's double congratulations, Vice President Mummy!

Congratulations, Eliza. Don't think baby Florence will remember her first Christmas, but I'll bet you will! As to Grandma and Grandpa (or whatever they or you choose to call them), enjoy!

Good sense of timing, Eliza! Don't forget that an important part of the music is the rests.
