Fatherhood²: Please welcome to the world Frederic Henry Elliss…

Posted on July 1, 2011March 3, 2018 by Henry Elliss

At exactly 0651 in the morning on July 1st, we welcomed little Frederic in to the world. Mother and baby are both doing fine – after a spell in the “Special Care Babies” ward to warm him up – and are hoping to return home tomorrow. He weighed a little 6lbs 8oz – 6oz bigger than Robert did, though he chose the more traditional exit. From labour beginning to Freddie emerging took just 4 hours, and Sara did AMAZINGLY well, just using Gas-n-Air to numb (some of) the pain.

I’ll post some more pictures later on – after the nerve-wracking spell in the SCB ward it’s been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, to say the least.

Frederic Henry Elliss, born at 6.51am today!

Not only was it an amazing concert, there was a big surprise at the end when he bought out both @doddleoddle AND the legendary @realmattlucas - what a treat!

    As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I want As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I wanted to give a shout-out to all the farmers in the local area, especially Brimpton’s own @mbowden1954. One of my favourite aspects of living where we do now is being surrounded by countryside and farm land - and being able to see an actively-farmed field at the end of our garden. Every time something’s being done to the field I’m out with my camera, usually trying to figure out the names of all the machinery - and it’s so nice to see a product being grown right from seed to harvest. I know it’s not easy for farmers at the moment, and I dearly hope ours are able to keep farming for many years to come - so if you have one near you, make sure to show them all the support you can!
