A New Hope

A lot of anxiety and anticipation here at the Townhouse of Solitude lately. But after a 20 hour labour, Daughter No 1 has popped out our first Grandchild. A fine healthy boy, 8 lbs. 15 oz., who has my name (which I'll admit does please me).



Mom and baby are doing fine. I've put Mrs Rabbitman on a plane to the Wild Frontier so she can help out and get all the baby snuggling.

I will console myself in my loneliness with painting and eating bacon.

    1. I wish to be called"Bumpa" as my grandfather was. But I'm sure Young James will have other ideas.

  5. Congratulations all round.

    My Welsh grandfather was "Pampa". I never did find out how or why, he just ... was!

  6. Congrats, sir! I've a few years until I join the grandfatherly ranks (I hope!), but I am looking forward to it. He's a handsome baby, and thanks be to God, healthy as well.
