Uncles and Aunts

Our little cherubs are blessed with 3 uncles and 3 aunts – 3 on either side of the family. Very symmetrical. Chris’ family all live in London whereas mine inhabit the deep south (near Brighton). Also, although Chris is a Londoner born and bred, her mum is Greek and her father Portuguese. I’m not saying her family is any closer than my thoroughly English family, but they are much more likely to phone, drop in or meet up for lunch than mine. My family is close in a long-distance sort of way.

Anyway, it’s been no surprise to me that we’ve seen a whole lot more of Chris’ family so far, than mine. Luis, one of Chris’ brothers, dropped in today for the obligatory cuddles, chat and photo shoot. Here he is with spotty dog Matthew.


After the rush of visitors at hospital, it’s nice to be able to show off the bubbas at our leisure.
