Fast Freddie

 Freddie zoomed into the world 10 weeks early, in a hurry just like his dad always was.  Ed never hangs about. When he lived with us in Newcastle, we had to be on our toes to keep up with him. So much energy. None of the Rea Smith prevarication and contemplation of options which sometimes goes on for years.  When Ed has an idea he makes a decision and if he's going to do it, he does it.  Ed wanted his own company - and he has it: All Lovely Stuff   And so with Freddie.  When he thought it was time, out he came, into the world, taking all by surprise especially his lovely mum, Shelly.

This gorgeous little man is definitely the son of his parents - blonde, smiling and wide-eyed about the world around him.  And growing up so fast.  I can just imagine a family day out with Lizzy and Freddie at Lightwater Valley,  just like when the Ward brothers would come to stay and we used to pack up a a picnic to eat in the rain inbetween swooshing down the hellslide, careering round the skatecart track and scrambling up the spiders web.
Now, Great Aunt Penelope is really looking forward to our family get together in October, to see how the next generation is doing.
