At the bottom of each post there is the word "comments". If you click on it you will see comments made by followers, and if you follow the instructions you may also comment and I always welcome that. I have found many people overlook this part of the blog which is often more interesting than the original post!

My blog nick-name is SIR HUGH. I'm not from the aristocracy - my middle name is Hugh which relates to the list of 282 hills in Scotland compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891. I climbed my last one (Sgurr Mor) on 28th June 2009

Sir Hugh (Granddad)

William and I were  awoken by Jill at 3:00 am on Tuesday morning.
Jill's friend Alison came from Manchester, and after taking advice from the hospital we all  arrived there at  6:00 am in my car. Labour was prolonged and not without some anxious drama. We spent a sleepless night and Katy was born at 5:15 am. All is well and Jill with baby are expected home tomorrow or Thursday.
