Dear friends,

I suppose my first and most important piece of news is the birth of another grandson. Allan and Samantha welcomed little Harris Spencer into the world on the 27th May, so it seems the family name has gone back where it came from, Scotland! I’ve only seen pictures of him so far as he was born in Aberdeen but he looks lovely and we’ll be heading north of the border very soon, let’s hope my hairy visage doesn’t frighten him too much...
