Just off to see our beautiful granddaughter Isla today. She is wonderful! Thank you everyone for all your kind thoughts, your prayers, and all the cards and gifts. Mum - our daughter Saara and baby continue to do well.

I'm leaving it for Tom and Saara to publish pictures on the web if and when they choose to do so. So if you want to see a picture of Isla, I might just have one on me, if you have an hour or two to spare while I tell you how briiliant she is.

By the way, a series of objective scientific tests, which I have carried out in a totally unbiased way, have established that Isla is in fact the cutest baby in the whole world...
