A warm welcome to Eric Hardy

[Eric Hardy]

was looking through your flikr pics eric, fantastic many hands make light work, loved the one with the cow in the garden

I am glad you enjoyed them, Phil. I had fun doing them and I did them single handed, just me, my camera, my tripod and a computer.

Heres the little incident I was joking about in my previous reply, Eric

Goodness! The real thing and lots of them. I am glad you could see the funny side, I think I would have found it rather disheartening after lots of hard work.

The compensation (the farmer was insured) was received a few weeks ago. Now I have to go out and block a few hoof holes. I didnt need any extra work in spring! Hoping my sons will help

One more thing by way of introducing myself. We have a grandson with Down's Syndrome, called Benji. He came to live with us at 5 weeks old straight from hospital. He lived with us full time until he was 19 and last August went to a small, very nice Home in Basingstoke. He goes to Newbury College three days a week and is very happy there. He comes to stay with us about every second or third weekend. This is really just a little preamble to introduce him mowing our lawn.

That's my boy! Working for three. He's welcome in my garden the first and fourth weekend

An announcement. I have to amend my personal details I gave you. Anthea and I are now proud great grandparents 

The wonders of modern technology. Here is Zac, photgraphed by his grandmother and emailed by our son Tom, his grandfather, "hot off the press" as it were. I am amazed at the quality of the photo. Our eldest son said "much like any other baby but quite a good example" 



Better than any old plants!!!

Congratulations Anthea and Eric - you must be very pleased and proud.

Better than any old plants!!!

But with one vital similarity - both requiring much love and attention.

Awwwww!
Congratulations to you all, and welcome to the forumZak 
What a lovely child, and what a head of hair! Reminds of my daughter Tara. Out of our three, she had the best start with a full head of lovely black hair.

Is that your first great-grandchild?

[Eric Hardy]

Thanks George, Zac is the first.
We have just been up to London to see them bearing gifts and to do a bit of "awwwwwwwing" ourselves 
A lovely chap but much smaller than I got the impression from the picture.
