Thanks everyone ,a photo of a very chubby little rosy face but her hands were still blue ,probably just minutes old .

I have not fussed them , daughter phoned and of course baby’s daddy had given no info, so no weight ,exact time etc etc.
The little family are being given time , those first few hours never come back do they.

Hope all are well given many have health problems and K G,those concrete steps!
So many of you battling through, your kindness is all the more  helpful, thanks everyone.
Did some garden tidying this lovely afternoon , looks much better and some light pruning will be beneficial but the Dogwoods needs proper treatment  or they will get very “ solid”.
There are several local firms who do pruning ,anyone can lop but proper thinning out is what I want done.
There is real moss in my plastic lawn!

Fish and Chips for tea so an easy day .
Will phone daughter  or she might phone me ,I can remember when baby’s Mummy was born at St.Mary’s in Manchester ,very near Chinatown.
She was lovely ,jet black hair and chubby , so lovely we did wonder if she was perhaps a Chinese Mum’s baby! Mixed up at birth!
However he personality is just her like Mum’s and she does not look Chinese now .
Thanks again folks for your good wishes ,look after yourselves,you are all very special.
Viktoria.

Good evening all.
The end of another week,  unbelievable .

Hope all is well with Victoria's  new Gt grandchild.

Been a very cold couple of days, we did have a few hours sunshine today but still very chilly.

Hope everyone has had a good week, onwards and upwards towards another new week.

Thanks ,as far as I know all is well ,I will hear more tomorrow when my daughter phones as usual.
Got to church today,  our young Rector’s wife had their baby on Tuesday Ben,.

Son drove me and I got the bus back .

Yesterday my son could see from the bedroom window that ambulance men were trying to climb the high garden wall to get into the back entrance of the lady I used to help, I went across with the phone numbers of her daughters as there is now a key code box at her front door.
Well- how rude were they!Would I let them get on !
I  said it would be easier if they got the key box code from her daughters with what they were trying to do!
No idea what had happened.
She has not been in touch and I have not been to her house since my heart attack .

Just watched the orogramme about Powell and Pressburger,film makers, one in particular, “ Gone to Earth”—- an adaptation of a book by Mary Webb,Shropshire’s answer to Thomas Hardy.
Written about the small hamlet where I lived as an evacuee ,the Baptist Chaple where my great grandparents worshipped were baptised, married and are buried  . In one scene David Farrar is leaning on two gravestones which are family graves .
I was back on holiday when filming was going on, thecvillagers were extras,abd I got autographs etc of David Farrar,Jennifer Jones,George Cole ,
Cyril Cusack,Dame Sybil Thorndike.Esmond Knight.
Lovely music and  breathtaking scenery .
Lovely this evening to see the countryside I know so well.

Some more  photographs of baby Lily, sent to son’s phone, not sure why not to my iPad .
Six pounds ten ounces.Quite a lot iof dark hair ,not seen her eyes open yet .
They will be a dark blue I expect.Daddy has blue eyes but Mum very dark brown.

Nice to be welcomed this morning ,but so cold in church .
Band concert next week, we are going ,it is a localish Brass Band ,
Then the very nice Bauble Service when names are read out of those who have died and family members hand a bauble on thr huge Christmas tree with the names if those being remembered  which is very well attended.
I have baubles for my husband,Mum and Dad, i
auntie and uncle whom I helped when they were getting very old no children abd auntiecgsd run the nome with grandad and two brothers from being 14 when grandness d ied I’m 1916.
in laws,the people in Shropshire with whom I lived and my grand daughter in law’s brother who was my grandson’s best friend .

Well bed calls ,look after yourselves and for  those unwell my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Many thanks for your good kind wishes to me.
Viktoria.
