My Son.

 60 years yesterday my son Simon came into the world. It was a Monday afternoon about 5pm, when, with the help of the one Midwife on duty, I staggered to the delivery room.  Everyone else was on their break, I was the only one in labour.

She told me, as I lay there, she had just returned from a year delivering babies in S Africa.. And with her help he was born. No fuss, no doctors and the music being piped into the labour ward was the 'Mamas and the Papas,' singing, ' Monday Monday.' 

Compared to my daughter's delivery it was easy, and I think it was made easy by my friend driving me to the hospital in her old mini, bumping along on every bump! And an excellent experienced Midwife! His date of birth, 06/06/66

Here he is in Infant school, sitting in the middle of the first row in a navy cardi.

And now!

He is my entrepreneur son, photographer and has his ebay business selling cameras. Here he is togged up taking photos at a race course with one of his super duper cameras. Looking a bit cold, and he told me it was bitterly cold.  He's put on a bit of weight, but as he had Crohns in his twenties, that's no bad thing for him.

And this is the sort of photos he takes.

60 years, I can't believe it. And he is such a lovely fellow, always has a good thing to say to people, very good interpersonal skills and talented.

I'm very proud of him.
