I've had a lovely afternoon, having made my way over to Bramcote to see Gill and Hypnobaby. Freddie is unquestionably bigger and cheekier, but is still adorable and still very clearly needs the world conquered in his name. And just as he was getting bored of Auntie Ni fussing over him, Kaz turned up with the properly beautiful Ellie. I can't believe I've never met Ellie in person before- she and Freddie are both brilliant and remarkably tolerant of me squeeing over them.
Being one of nature's maiden aunties rocks. Someday I shall carry a bag of sweets in my handbag at all times, and learn to knit, and then my auntie-powers will be complete.
