I am pleased to announce the safe arrival of non-identical twin boys on the 26th November 2010 at 3am (just a few hours after I posted the entry below – they must have known…). It was all a bit of a mad emergency rush, but we are all fine, and after a week or so in special care the twins are thriving.

I expect to be off radar until the spring…
