I delivered (long story) my own baby boy that myself and Jo have called Freddie Taylor. He was born at 9lb and 5oz and both he and mother are well.
  • Liam Taylor : Jim,
  • Neil Smith : Hiya James, Neil Smith here, just taken a look at you blog for the first time in ages, your back then. The pull of Jaffa cakes is strong! What you up to work wise? Are you off travelling again? FYI they are recruiting permies in engine design at the mo, it would be like you've never been away, even Scotty Butlers back. Take it easy. Neil.
  • Whereismal : Aw, I was hoping you had some pictures of the new road bridge they are building next to the Hoover damn. They had just started it last time I was there and it looked like a monster project.
