I am now an Uncle as my eldest sister Ruth gave birth at 9.36pm (Australian time) on Monday the 30th of July 2007. Eifion John Evans is her and her husband Carl’s first child weighing in at a whopping 9lb 2oz (don’t really know what that means myself!!) so congratulations to them.

I am flying to Melbourne in Australia on my birthday (August 8th) next week so will get my first proper glimpse of my nephew which will be a little daunting as I have never really been anywhere near a baby so have no idea what I’m supposed to say or do.
