The Birth Of Liam

As previously mentioned our son was born into the world on 1st July. Here is the story of what happened.

It is now a week since our son, Liam was born. So, I thought it was about time that I shared with you all the story of how he came into the world.

Fathers Day Present

Finally my Fathers Day present has arrived. (A little late, but that’s the UK postal system for you!)

I opened the parcel and was greeted with a few drips of water.

“What the hell is that?” I thought.

Inside was a plastic box which I promptly opened to find out where the water was coming from. I wasn’t expecting what I saw.

It was a piece of grass.

On closer inspection though, this was no ordinary piece of grass.

Grand Slam Turf

This was a piece of turf from the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. A piece of grass that Wales had played on during their triumphant Six Nations Grand Slam Campaign in 2008.

This was something very different and a present I’d never have thought of.

It will now take pride of place in our garden, in its own little pot. We can’t have it mixing with all that English grass!!!

Thank you very much Ellie, and Liam, as it arrived after he was born! x x
