hello lovely henley's - happy easter! glad we didn't try to go camping this weekend, what with all the snow and gales! possibly not the best conditions for wee g's first camping excursion! have a lovely weekend. lots of love from us down here xxxxxxxxxxx
meli said on tuesday, 12th february 2008
yeah!! glad to see that the young chap is mastering the great art of digging in the mud! its a fine skill to have. perhaps a book on the perennial herbs of britain, complete with latin names, will be in order for the birthday, just to continue his education.

robert dyas (britain's favourite/only? hardwore store) sells various mouse traps, some that kill the little buggers dead (ha!), as well as, er, some boring ones that don't. rodent armeggedon can even be accomplished without having to leave the comfort of your newly purchased vermin sanctuary as robert dyas will kindly deliver straight to your doorstep. the order line is 0845 450 3004 and apparently it's open 24/7.
i am not a spammer from robert dyas.

hi peta and cole,
congratulations on gethin, he's gorgeous, and for this great blog! i started reading it while i was waiting for our baby eleni to arrive (she was a week late in the end), and am still reading to see how you're doing! it's lovely to see how happy you are, and hope we can do as well as you - eleni's 3 weeks old now and is wonderful (i might be biased though).
love to you all xx
oompa said on monday, 3rd july 2006
in the middle of a heat wave and you dress gethin in arctic clothing poor chap. keep the blog going as your worldwide audience awaits each new entry with anticipation.

jimi said on monday, 8th may 2006
hi! peta n cole
congratulations on the arrival of gethin. really happy for you. he is just so cute!!! hope to see u soon.
laura hough said on thursday, 27th april 2006
congatulations! it's amazing how adictive reading about a baby's poo can be! i've recommended it to my sister rebecca, who is expecting a baby of her own, but far away in japan, so i've told her to read this blog for its honesty about becoming parents.
shelley said on monday, 24th april 2006
thank you gethin for sponsoring me for the race for life - being dropped on your head clearly hasn't affected your ability to use a computer at such a young age! xxx
john mcroberts said on thursday, 20th april 2006

jacqui said on tuesday, 4th april 2006
welcome to plant earth little 'un and be gentle with your parents - the tiny baby thing can be equally wonderous and scary. well done team - once you all bed and work out nourishment for you all it will all get easier and more delightful as time goes by (well until they get hormones and free will some years hence). best advice - stay calm all will be fine.
seelee said on tuesday, 4th april 2006

aunty leiske said on monday, 3rd april 2006
this is torture......(more so for you i imagine!)
no news since 6.00am!!!! peta i really hope you're not in for the long haul with bairn! we're all thinking about you down here & willing you on (can't imagine how cole is doing/helping you through this?!). looks like we'll both be having arians (not bad all things considered-lets just hope baby withers doesn't arrive a few days late making him/her a taurian-no offence to any taurians out there!!!).
anyway, hope the birthing pool is doing the trick & cole's not busy still trying to get his goggles & flippers on!!!! keep up the good work. love aunty leiske, will & cousin to bairn! xxxx

hey babe!!!
hope you all well, and are you still getting twinges?
i'm off to ny tmro and don't want to miss all the excitment.

sarah s said on monday, 3rd april 2006
good luck cole & peta!
dave said on saturday, 1st april 2006
poor peta, i feel for you, a lazy bairn indeed. i suggest you and cole hold long conversations discussing something imaginary with phrases such as "wow, isn't that interesting", "i've never seen anything like it" and "well, i never knew that". eventually bairn'll get so curious that he/she'll pop out to have a look and... bingo!
best of luck with it. we're all waiting with baited breath (whatever that means.....it's not like i'm sitting here with a small worm hooked on the end of my tongue or anything). xxx
michelle & eric said on saturday, 1st april 2006
hiya peta!
hope you're feeling ok! you're baby obviously likes it too much where she/he is!
good luck with everything and take care
lots of love michelle and eric xxxx
meli said on friday, 31st march 2006
well steli, frankly we are very disappointed. the 30th march was the day we requested for your arrival, and what day is it now? and still no appearance. steve has taken to drink, harvey is sleeping through the disappointment and i am drinking buckets of cammomile tea to soothe my nerves. see what an effect you are having, and you're not even here yet. does this bode well for the future i wonder. just remember to be nice to your mummy on the way out! xxxxx
shelley said on friday, 31st march 2006
hurry up baby henley!! but please don't play any april fools jokes tomorrow... lots of love and deep breaths xxx
uma henley said on wednesday, 29th march 2006
you'll give poor bump a guilt complex..he'll come when hes ready probably april 1st to get his own back. relax and enjoy
ken future great grandad said on sunday, 26th march 2006

pops - soon to be oompa! said on wednesday, 22nd march 2006
you should have started online betting on the bairn sex... not long now, make the most of the quiet nights while you can. yes little kids do grow up and they don't stay small for long - just look at cole.
