There has been a delightful addition to my family.

My nephew"s adorable little boy had been born at the end of May.Long awaited much loved little fighter.And his doting dad has already taught him to swim, to swim,!Yes, the tiny little mite can already swim.And he cannot yet walk.Or talk. But swim he can.And he has the most efficient and caring au pair.The mummy was having a shower when little Mark Spitz started to cry.Moments later the crying stopped.But being a new mum, she showered fast and went into the nursery.A sight to behold had awaited her.A little poodle she had raised from a puppy, was standing on hind legs, licking the baby"s face,wagging its tail happily.The baby smiling contentedly.And this is the way it has been ever since. The little white dog has taken it upon himself to take care of the tiny addition to the family. When he hears him just whimper, he runs to the parents reminding them the baby needs attention.And when neither parent responds immediately, the dog guards the boy,licking his little face, little hands. The mother loves both of them beyond belief,she is the best mum any new-born can have and my nephew is the kindest, most caring husband and father.I love him very,very much. I am a godmother to my other nephew's two sons,Adam and Matthew.I kind of let the new mummy know, in a roundabout way,that I do not expect to be a godmother again,as I did not want her to feel obligated to have me as a godmother,as she may have her own choice from her family.The christening will be next year when I can travel easily as it all has to be planned and booked well in advance and I have too many obligations at the moment to commit myself to any particular date.Next late spring it will be possible,though,so May may be a perfect month.It is also the baby"s birthday and my birthday.Yes, I am a May baby, a Taurus.Stubborn, kind ,giving, caring, love beautiful things, but do not like to be told what to do.Otherwise I am as placid as sea on a calm day, very rarely a bull in a china-shop. So tomorrow I am back home. I shudder to think what has happened in my absence.I do not have any-one to keep an eye on my home when I am away, I do not like the invasion of privacy.I do not like any-one poking their nose into my affairs.I expect at least 60 letters to have to open, I will be very,very busy until the 21st, when I sail on Oceana.So now I can say good-bye Queen Elizabeth. Bonallie,may god look after you and those who sail on you.
