Hi Henk,
Congratulations on the new arrival, wishing you many sleepless nights, no I don't really VERY PLEASED FOR YOU BOTH.
We can wet the babies head in May (or is this a British tradition) we'll have a few drinks.

...Andrew, we in Holland do this :
"Beschuit met muisjes"
It is a custom to serve all the visitors who come to meet the newborn baby the so-called "beschuit met muisjes". "Beschuit" is Dutch rusk and "muisjes" (literally: little mice) are little aniseeds covered with a thin layer of sugar: in case of a boy they're blue and white, and in case of a girl they're of course pink and white. The father will also treat his colleagues to "beschuit met muisjes".

Hi Ron,
Looks fine, but can we still wet the babies head in Burton, there again I think we will be doing it as a matter of course.
Have you booked your hotel yet. Also on another note, did I send you a CD of the house. If not, can you PM your address to me again and I will send you a copy of the new shoots.

AAAaaargh! RON! I've seen enough of that 'beschuit met muisjes'!!
It's been quite a week; the little girl got ill and was hospitalized. Took 8 days and a antibiotic treatment for her to recover.

Just this morning we brought her back home, and everything's OK now.
Don't know yet if I'll be at the Burton meet, but If I am, I'll bring some 'beschuit met muisjes'!!
