Hi, Rusty!
No problem about earlier- the thread got a bit cluttered with osprey chat around the time that I posted!
I am glad that Laddie has now arrived - such a relief for Lassie - and for us - to have him safely here!
My younger daughter has just been chatting to me for the duration of her lunch hour.
They are all going to Swanage (on the Isle of Purbeck) for the Easter weekend, to visit some of her husband's family, who recently moved there.
I hope the weather isn't too foul for them.
They will want to cross by the chain ferry - aka the "floating bridge" - from Sandbanks, Poole , but it takes a lot to keep that from making its regular crossings, so they shouldn't have a problem.
They return on Easter Monday.
Elder daughter and sons are coming to stay with us sometime after that.
It will be hectic but good fun!
