Well Its good news for a change.

While I was in Eastern Poland with a Humanitarian convoy, my eldest gave birth to a baby girl.

Not so keen on the name - Persephone Lily Rose.

So I will call her Flower - after the Skunk in the Disney film Bambi, as for the next couple of years she will be regularly making foul smells

LOL. Congratulations.
Flower was very cute.... but I think there may be troubles ahead!  ;)
How 'bout 'Percy'?  :)

Congratulations!

On the name .... how about Pepe as a short form of Penelope? Pepe after Pepé Le Pew.

Congratulations, old man!

I knew a Persephone once, she went by "Sephy or Sephie" (never saw it spelt).

*a short form of Persephone

The attempts to "fix" things that worked perfectly for me seems to have shambled the forum. Preview, quote, quick edit and emojis were fine guys until you sorted them!! :) :) :)

Congrats. You may feel old today but as she grows up she will take you back to when your children were young.
She will twist you round her littles finger and you will spoil her. Enjoy. 😊

Congratulations and well done!

I like Persephone, it's a nice name, unique but not way out there. Lily is super popular right now. I know of four or five people who named their little ones Lily in the last few years.

Same as they all said and would like to hear more re the convoy.   
I'd have said it sooner but this new forum logs me out every night and I have one of them fancy 20 character of all types passwords and my embedded password manager for some reason doesn't recognise the forum login page.
