The Great Aunt

It’s official. I am now a “Great Aunt”, albeit by marriage.

Andy’s niece Hannah, and her husband Marcus became the proud parents of Florence Jayne on Monday afternoon. Florence weighed in at 6lb.13oz and has, needless to say, captivated all, not least her doting parents and other relatives and friends.  When Nerea (first cousin, once removed) and I worked out our respective relationships to the newest family member, I immediately thought of Nancy and Peggy Blackett’s Great Aunt, immortalised in the Swallows and Amazons books and decided that I needed to behave with more decorum, as befitting my new status
