 5, Club Street, Lidget Green, &c

We were up at 7:30 and crept around because Mum and Dad were encamped in our bedroom. At 9 Ally went to see Dr Sullivan and came away bright and cheerful. He told her she can have a temp. doctor in Middlesbrough. He saw nothing wrong with this. Ally thought he might not approve. The doctor made an attempt without success to hear our child's heart beat. He explained he wasn't too good at 'that sort of thing'. However, he did feel baby kicking which was vigorous. Back home we had bacon sandwiches and packed things into the Renault for Papa kindly offered to drive us back to the Linthorpe with some of our gear. Mum put her hand on Ally's tummy and could feel the baby move. Her grandchild leaping around for the first time. Ally is 23 weeks (pregnant) today. Left at 12:30 after telling Mary of our move to the Why Not? We stopped off for lunch at the Blue Bell at Arkendale near Ripon. A cold and empty free-house. We talked about  _________and the odd little ways she has. ________. We joked about the possible nickname for our new (mini) metro and decide upon Mandy. Howl with laughter. It seems that our cars are always unintentionally named after a Baker. From Arkendale we drove to M'Bro and showed them the Why Not? - only from the outside. They were impressed. After depositing us at the Linthorpe we said goodbye and waved them off in pouring rain.It was so nice to have seen them again. We four get along so well together. A training session at 8 with Roy. To the bar. Quiet. Bed.

A warm, gentle day. Ally and I took off to town with Samuel at 1pm. We didn't take the pram and I carried baby for two hours, by the end...
