Oh dear, I see that the last entry was rather a long time ago. Since then, the most significant thing that has happened is that we have moved house while significant works are done at home, where things seem to be progressing well, if a little slowly. Having moved, Silvia seems to have been going in and out of labour, making things rather uncomfortable for her, and uncertain for everyone else. With Max born at 32 weeks, and Luca at 37, we felt fairly safe in predicting another early arrival. Sadly he has had other ideas, and we went in for an induction of labour on Monday (14th Aug). After rather a lot of indecision on the baby’s part, he finally put in an appearance at 6:15am yesterday (16th Aug), delivered by c section. We will add more shortly, I promise!
As we are literally between homes, the charger for our camera has gone astray, so we are limited to pics from my phone. Max was singularly unimpressed by the little chap, and refused to appear in the same frame, Luca however warmed to him quite quickly, so here is a snap from my phone of Luca and his as yet unnamed little brother.
GREAT NEWS!!
Questa sì che è una notizia che mi fa tornare il buon umore!
Complimenti sinceri e un fortissimo abbraccio a tutti voi!
Vi scriverò più avanti raccontandovi come vanno le cose (non benissimo… ma nulla di cui preoccuparsi)

hello Silvia, I was flicking through Red the other day and saw your smiling face and just wanted to send you a big hello. congratulations on your new baby, hope you are doing well. fascinating to read about your family on this site too, you have your hands full don’t you? It’s a long time since I saw you after graduation in Edinburgh or was it at Amanda’s wedding – years fly by. if you want to have a look at the website you’ll see I’ve been busy singing for my supper, I’m often in London rehearsing or teaching. anyway, just a quick note, sending you and yours love across the years and miles. tanti auguri
