Things are going really well on this side of Heathrow. The baby seems to be alive and very much kicking. As the due date (23 Dec) approaches, we are getting more and more focused on the house and whether or not it's suitable for the new arrival. The house is really great and spacious, but as the carpets are quite old and manky (and a few other things) we'...
