Wow, to say I’m thrilled would be an understatement 💕💕💕💕💕💕 Clever baby boy has only gone and been born on my birthday. He’s in esteemed company, and shares the day with Me, Shakespeare and of course St George….Patron Saint of England. Freaking awesome.
Of course the name George has already been bestowed upon his older brother, so I’m wondering what his name will be.
As an added bonus, I’m in Durham for my birthday treat 😊😊😊😊
Its all big news here in Australia too, still a lot of people couldn’t give a hoot about it. I was in Durham 3 years ago stayed at a local B & B, they gave us the best breakfast in the UK;with the Cathedral the precious caretakers wouldn’t let us take any pics inside,anyway have to rely on memories. Have a good day, Cheers. John
Hi John. I know what you mean so many UK citizens really don’t care at all. Durham is lovely, I so enjoyed my day there. The cathedral was amazing, but I’m afraid I broke the rules… Managed to get quite a few photos. Most cathedrals in the UK allow photos these days, so they were indeed just being ‘precious’. Thanks and you too.
