It's been too long

Mothers in arms - HJ & Sweens

Smile Ben!

Ben - Quite literally his Mother's son

Good to see both fruit & cheesy footballs in these additive-free times

Some things never change....


Due to circumstances beyond my control, I had not seen Helen Jenkins since September 2003, but Sunday marked the first birthday of her son Ben , who readers will be delighted to note sport a similar nose to both HJ and her Father, who was 80 on the following day. Party games were very much the order of the day, but they obviously do things different in the Principality as I noticed pass the parcel was fixed so Ben won the first prize of a squashy rugby ball. I mean, as if you give a toss when you’re one (yes, you do, I hear you crying in unison). Well, I suppose I’m wrong, but in much the same way as Rohan, Ben seemed to be more interested in his birthday tea than the largess with which he was endowed for having completed one year of life thus far.

HJ is due to introduce another Jenkins to the world in July, and readers will be delighted to note that we found Helen in rude health when we saw her on Sunday. Long may this remain the case, and good luck (again) - there must be something in the water on the other side of the Severn.
