Welcome to Stewarts in Cardiff

Life's rich tapestry just took on a third dimension for us. A daughter shaped dimension. Marnie Catherine Isabel Stewart joined us on Saturday 8th March.

Marnie apparently means "causing joy", but we chose it for a more mundane reason (but personal) reason. It's from a Hitchcock film Christine's Dad liked - although obviously we're hoping our daughter doesn't have the same kind of troubles as the heroine. The fact that the film starred Sean Connery didn't hurt much, as any of you who've worked with Christine will know well. (Although not even we would choose to call a wee boy Zardoz.)

And that changing tapestry is really why we're starting this blog. Many kind people have been asking how things are going, so we thought this might be an good way to let anyone who's interested know what's happening in our corner of Wales in a when-you-want-to kind of a way.

Don't get us wrong, this is no substitute for emails or phone calls, and definately not for visiting. But we're guessing that over the next few months we won't be going much of anywhere far, and Wales isn't the easiest place to get to. (Nice when you get here though.) And from all the advice we've been given, we'll probably be homebods for the next few weeks. On the other hand that does mean you know where to find us...

So as a small, small, partial replacement for seeing everyone on our semi-regular travels, we're setting this up. We'll try and update it frequently if not regularly, but don't use that as an excuse to let us off being in touch. Phone us up and shout at us if we haven't spoken for a while.

So, be glad if you want to drop by every now and then and catch up on what the four of us have been up to. Feel free to leave a comment to let us know if you do.

Cheers,

Smurf, Christine, Marnie and Glaikit
