...in London, and the great blessing of glorious rain. Blissful, great splashy drops on the scorched earth and the brown grass.
The media has gone loopy about the Royal birth: people are so glad to have a sense of stability and something traditional around which to rally. You can read Auntie's take on the whole thing here...
Curiously, I booked, some months ago, a London History Walk for this evening, with a Royal theme. Meet 6.30pm (after the 5.30pm Mass) on the steps of Westminster Cathedral. All welcome, no need to book. We will be walking across St James' Park and looking at lots of Royal links...the plan was to finish at Buckingham Palace, but if the crowds are too great we may go into Green Park instead and finish with a short prayer there under the trees....

I think loopy is unkind. The royals are a family with a huge fan base of thrilled followers. Everyone loves the joy of a new baby and the news of their son is thrilling and celebratory for everyone. The royals are a family who have ups and downs and difficulties like everyone and this is a time for celebrating with them. So many people can associate with them just a little.
You have new babies in your family along with the difficult times and no doubt you and the wider family and followers will celebrate each and every one as they arrive with the joy and love to share with the world.
Sometimes life isn't perfect, though babies bring love and hope in all sorts of different circumstances.
Do smile Joanna!!
