Its a Girl!

Oh, lovely...Rachel will be pleased! Best wishes to you all. xx

It gets even better! The expected date is 25May
and guess who is away to the Island then??
She thinks i am not going! This is going to be fun to get around.

Tuc tuc tuc........dear oh dear....how u
get outta this one!!! Looks like you'll have to take her with yer! or get her sit on the washing machine when it does the long spin and hope it
starts the birth !!

Gail, I dont think she would go on a boat again ever! After last year,
But she is really expecting me to stay home, So come on folks i need a good excuse to get away??
I tried to explain that the child would be here when i come back and the Island is only once a year! But strangely she stopped speaking to me.

John,

Seems like you will have to take a lesson from The Master - Joey of course.

Gary was due in May 2083, he was born on 27 May and landed on the Island when three days old. This was one of the lovely anecdotes Gary related to me on last year's crossing to I.O.M.

If the 'event' is delayed to 28 May you will celebrate in a big way, firstly the first official date of a TT and secondly I will celebrate this special birthday with you.

Best wishes to you and the good lady.

Big D.

I've heard of some premature births, but 100 years early is ridiculous !!!

O.K. lads & lasses we all know Joey was the master but 2083 was one miracle too much, 1983 would have been the truth.

Sorry,

Big D.

May we add our congratulations too.Gail was brought up in a carry cot around the circuits--and look where it got her!Don't know any better if you start off on the right boot!
