Dave Thorp's Blog

Well it’s that time of year again when people detonate small yield explosives for no major reason. Of course this time of year has other memories for us as two years ago Yvonne was in hospital about to give birth to Stuart.

Both our children’s births have be marked by some event. In Stuart’s case it was fireworks and in Alex’s it was an earthquake. Does that make them special?

They’ll always be special to us!

Alex and Stuart got a new pram yesterday and are now side by side rather than Alex sitting behind Stuart

I am pleased to announce the arrival of a new member to the Thorp family. On the day that the Earth shook, at 10:42am Alexander James Thorp was born weighing 7 lbs.

Pics will be posted when I have had some sleep!
