Yes Nursie, mother and baby are settled down for the night in a nice pen away from the others. Baby has been up feeding and looking good. Will post another pic in a few days.

Listen to OH debs, they rule your life in every way. We haven't had a proper holiday for about 15years and work 7days a week, but wouldn't want to swop for anything else.
