YES!!! The "I'm So Happy!" thread - 2011

[Martin Baxendale]

Paddy, I know how happy and proud you must feel. That's how I felt after the birth of my first grandson earlier in the year. Gives you a strangely unique sense of continuity, doesn't it? Even more so than after the birth of your children, I found.

Paddy -  Now we know you are prone to passing along your beautiful babies to grateful forumists but I guess you won't be letting this one away!  She's a beauty. Congratulations.

Many congratulations to you and your family Paddy. There's no one quite as special as a grandchild, or three or four. May you share many wonderful and memorable occasions together. Each one more precious than the next.
Love and best wishes

Many thanks for all the good wishes which are really appreciated.

Today, Mary is much better, rested and recovering. Baby is feeding well and doing all the right baby things. David is more settled this morning, calmed down and relieved that baby has arrived safely and that Mary is well.

Grandfather and grandmother are both well, recovering from the travels and looking to travelling again. It is a wonderful occasion and we are delighted.

How long Paddy, until you have the wee lass standing on a stool at the potting bench?

Just read the news Paddy ... you must be SO thrilled ... HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL CONCERNED!

[Paddy Tobin]

Ah, look what your good eye can see!

Yes, Cliff, we are truly delighted, first grandchild. Many thanks for your kind thoughts.

Lesley, I'm glad to say that our daughter-in-law enjoys gardening and this little girl will be introduced to the pleasures of gardening from an early age. On the other hand, our son avoids all gardening activities like the plague, citing allergy difficulties.

I'm SO HAPPY that Cliff is able to read the forum! Don't overdo it though, Cliff.... lie back with a cuppa and take it easy! You deserve it. Hope to goodness things went better this time and that all these eye problems are behind you.
Lots of love and get well cuddles, M

Oh crumbs, just read Cliff's post here: http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=6457.msg211255#msg211255 where I discover that the op was a painful as the last time.... but at least he seems positive about things.... caused by relief that it's all over, I expect! Poor Cliff... I do hope others don't have to suffer like this.

I too was happy to receive mypackage of bulbs from Pitcairn Alpines - excellent quality as always.

Mine arrived yesterday ! 

[angie]

We all seem to be so happy. I got another parcel a few days ago from Paul Cumbleton. Wonderful bulbs and he even put in more than I ordered. Nice chap

I see that I've just become a hero (500 posts).
Must tell the family, they'll be so proud! 

Probably more like "You spend far too much time on that computer"
