Life before kids
To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return you will receive untold peace and happiness...apparently so thats a good place to start! Sincere sorrys for making the Ophelia fan club wait a long time for this missive...no excuses apart from far too busy having fun! Anyway lets hope untold peace and happiness do indeed become yours with the news I have to impart! What a few weeks it has been here in the rambling household! Two days ago Ophelias scream, recorded on an android mobile phone got counted down and sent in to orbit from the Satish Dhawan Space station in Sriharikota, India...did you hear her screams from space??

It might be the case that the screams you heard were not from outerspace but infact from our living room when Ophelia had the shock of her life! This Saturday just gone Ophelia acquired a niece! Due to a complicated and frankly rather embarrassing family situation (involving a bicycle pump and a prawn cocktail-I'll say no more) Ophelia has found her self in sole charge of a young child for a few months. Odette is 5 years old, suffers with jaundice (apart from in her hands strangely)and is a very lively child...Ophelia is not the maternal type to be honest and the sudden responsibility she has been given has left her aghast and in shock-she had to take to her bed for a few days. No matter, it is all calming down now and the frost is thawing. Who knows where this next stage of her life will take her...from modelling to mothering perhaps? Or maybe just insanity? We'll have to see. Anyhow enough chatter-let me introduce you to Odette via the magical medium of the photograph. Please welcome her my dears and Deirdres...the new addition to the family ramblings! And no doubt she will provide us with many things to ramble about! (click on the pics to make them bigger!)
