Sophia Mae arrives

Lovely news of a baby to Liz and Matt. Conceived in Scotland, perhaps at Brin Croft, only days after mum died, our dearest friend Liz's baby was born yesterday and this morning, at Sally's in Ipsos, Linda and I are enjoying photos of Liz, already back home with the baby and her friend, our daughter, Amy. The snap tank-tops are entirely coincidental.

I stood on our balcony at daybreak this Saturday morning. After a while I saw the ferry from Italy emerging from the Corfu Channel heading for Igoumenitsa
