Newsflash!
Baby Arthur Bear Geoffrey John, has arrived. Two and a half weeks early, weighing 6lbs 6oz with a shock of black hair, he arrived at 12.08pm on 4th August 2013. This little corker is our fourth grandson and the first child for Zoe and Rhys who, though exhausted, are over the moon. So, without further ado, here is little Arthur and his proud Grandma and Granddad. 🙂
