Easter Sunday and a very auspicious day for the birth of our first grandson, as yet name undeclared, although Charles, Theo and Archie have been mentioned recently. Anyway baby brooks tumbled into the world at 3.13am 12th April weighing 8 lbs and 3 ozs but looks much older as he was a while overdue and came with a good head of hair!! So as our Lord is risen the baby was born which has to be a good start in life.
Our friends Marcus and Yue arrived back from Cuba minus the promised bottle of Cuban Rum!! Sadly for them their flight was routed back through Paris rather than direct to Heathrow or Gatwick and the French customs took the precious bottle of Legendario 7 year old rum, the bastards!!
While in Cuba they looked up our old friends Gasper and Hugo which was a great occasion for all as the Cuban colleagues have fond memories of other British visitors.
It was also the 50th birthday party of another friend on Sunday, so Melvin invited us to join him and his family for the celebrations which were blessed with lovely sunshine giving everybody the chance to enjoy the outdoor party. Thankfully his bottle of Jamaican Rum arrived ok!!
