Hello there, and what a day! I have had a lot of fun because Mummy and Daddy are on holiday at the moment and we are spending lots of time together. Today it was Daddy's turn to take me swimming. It is very important for all of you to understand that I was the best in the group, using the criteria of style and technicality. No one can deny that. I jumped like a kangaroo, pushed a ball along with my nose and splashed much better than Duncan Goodhew can. Some of these so-called professionals 'glide' through the water hardly disturbing it, wheras I managed to get water all over the place, particularly in Daddy's eyes. Much better!
To top it all, it was Nat's birthday and the Owens came over for tea today. We had lots of fun. Uncle David is a shining wit. I decided I would be particularly grown-up, so told Auntie Jane I needed a wee. She sat me on the toilet and after a couple of small grunts the aqua vita flowed free! Did I also mention that I know lots of colours and can finish the lines in nursery rhymes? [alright, enough now, we know you're amazing - Dad].
Bye for now, Herberty xxx

Hello there, Herbert here with a couple of recent photos. The first is of me eating a 'nack' and putting money in my cowy bank. The second is just me gawping about. Some big news is that I can now do a forward roll all by myself. Daddy has got it on video so it's true! I want to be a gymnast like my cousin Theo. Special mentions to Auntie Helen who came to town with me on a big bus this weekend and to Grandad Mike who did really well in a difficult race called The Iron Man! I want to try the egg and spoon race, which I hope is to see who can eat an egg the fastest.
The best news is that Uncle Jared and Auntie Rebecca have got married. Unfortunately Daddy was too busy having fun to take any decent photos, so he is waiting for Granny (who I'm sure had fun too) to send him some. Then I will do a little Herbert story of the weekend.
Love to all, Herbert xxx
