I never tire of seeing them Darren. As you know I'm quite taken with them especially after meeting a couple. Let us know when the new baby arrives. Hopefully it will be female this time

I have been sat ages trying to decide what the picture of the one under the radiator reminds me of and I think I finally decided It reminds me of a rhino lying down, but please don't ask why
