Exciting News!

I've been keeping a little secret. I'm going to be a Grandma!

Eleanor and Jacob are expecting a baby in June. As you can imagine, we're all very excited, we haven't had a baby in the family for many years so it will be very spoilt. I've been bursting to tell everyone but we've kept the news to family and close friends until now, and they haven't known very long either.

They don't want to find out whether it's a girl or a boy before the birth so it's going to be a lovely surprise for us all. It does mean that I'm having to knit gender neutral things but I couldn't resist a little pair of pink and a little pair of blue socks. I don't think Eleanor's really into pink for a girl and blue for a boy anyway so I don't think colours will matter very much.

Eleanor was only twelve when I started this blog and I know that many of you have been with me since then so you'll have seen her grow up, leave school, go to university, get married, and now you join us in this next step of her life, becoming a mum. The time has gone so quickly, I can't believe that Mick and I are onto the next phase of our own lives, becoming grandparents. 

Eleanor and Jacob will be brilliant parents, I know, and the baby is going to be very lucky to have them as their mum and dad.
