I really can't write all that much about the practicalities of being a grand-mother yet. I suppose the role is still to evolve. However, I can examine how I am feeling about the new role. I'm not sure. I'm so excited for Naomi and James. I'm in awe of the amazing job Naomi did in carrying through with her home, birthing pool delivery. Imagine having a baby who is over 11 pounds and being able to go through that without major pain killers and with little tearing. Naomi is amazing but so were the mid-wives by the sound of it and it is probably due to their expertise that all turned out so well. Noah is beautiful as are all babies to their family (but really, he is beautiful!). And that's where I am at the moment.
Emma has decided that I should be called Moogie, a nickname she gave me a few years ago. (A prize to those who know the origin...and no that doesn't include you, Mary Jane!) Cliff likes 'pops'. I think Andy Hardy (another prize for anyone who remembers who that is) used to call his father that, but the name also has an honorable television and film history. So, we have new names, an evolving role and lots of photographs. Life goes on in Surrey as it did before but the birth has thrown another element into the question of where do I go from here.

I know who Andy Hardy is...do I get a prize??
Pops and Moogie, those are good names.
I couldn't have done it without Jimmy!
