Hello Baby Ash!
Hello all! It’s been a couple of weeks since I last sent my newsletter, but I have a good excuse… I birthed a human being!
Ash Winter Francis-Baker was born earlier this month and, as you can imagine, all sense of order and organisation has completely disappeared in a happy haze of sleeplessness and coffee cups.
If you’re interested in baby stats, he weighed 8.5 lbs and the whole thing took just under eight hours, beginning to end.
The babe has settled right in and we are all obsessed with him, including Olive who is loving being a big sister!
Normal newsletter service should now resume, and over the next few weeks and months I’ll be sloooooowly gearing myself up to start promoting my new book The Bridleway: How Horses Shaped the British Landscape, which is due out in June.
Thanks so much for sticking with me as I settle into life as a mother-of-two! Time for another biscuit…
