A New Arrival - University College Hospital, London - Tuesday 3rd March 2009

Just before half past midnight on Tuesday 3rd March, after a labour that lasted just over 24 hours, my first child arrived - a beautiful baby daughter weighing 7lb 8oz. We called her Julia. She means that gigs, football and travelling are off the agenda for a while (travelling had already been banned for a month), and will be coming back only gradually! Therefore, I won't be updating this blog very much for the next month or two. Even in Julia's first week, gigs by Mumford and Sons and The Maccabees, plus Arsenal vs Burnley, have all gone by the wayside - there will be many more I'm sure.
