Just as Match of the Day was starting on Saturday night, Jussi uttered these immortal words. Around about 3 am - with me tucked up securely in bed, Jussi returned with the news that two new kids had joined our throng. Proud mother is Gwendolyn. There's one male, one female kid. The colourful photo-friendly one is the male, and being of British Alpine stock will need a myths and legends name beginning with "S". The reticent female with the enigmatic smile looks like she'll be called Selkie.
And then on Sunday morning after a long hard session of ooooing and aaaaing The Girl took a rest - proving that if you're well wrapped, and the wind has dropped, and the sun is out, it gets warm up here, sort of.

For those of you who really want to know: the new mother is Gwynneth (Gwendolyn is having a year off kidding); the colourful photo-friendly one is the female. She'll be called Selkie (thanks, Isobel!) unless there's another female kid that looks more like a Selkie. The one with the smile is the male.
All is well. There's a slight worry because Gwynneth is trying to get away from them at every opportunity. Sofar she's keeping them fed though, and when she does get away she's just as keen to get back to them!
ah- oh dear. Sorry.
Simon is the only bloke I know who can't tell the difference between his own kids.
