Sunday, 21 September 2014. Maya arrives, Susan jumps out. YC is delighted to bring you news of:. Born to Michael and Rowena in London weighing 6 lbs 6 oz. For the linguists out there - Maya is pronounced "my - a". Michael reports that Rowena's father purchased some excellent whisky to wet the baby's head. Euan (Michael's father) thought it his grandfatherly duty to force a glass between his parched lips - and was surprised how much he liked it. Flamingos in South Africa - by Susan. 3 cheers for The UK.

After 9 years of hard work, he is putting his feet up (possibly) in York, where the next stage on his journey will commence. He flitted in to Holy Saviours like Bede's sparrow 9 years ago, and now he flits on to whatever life holds. The trusty dictionary defines Mass as deriving from Ite missa est. Go it is the dismissal.

http://birtleynews.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

They announced the news to the assembled Miller family on the family get together in Hawaii. Here's a photo of some of Susan's nephews and nieces enjoying the beach.
