Choose a Bright Morning, Clara
















Yesterday dawned brilliantly bright and sunny up here in Derbyshire, a suitably auspicious day for the arrival of Clara Eloise Linford at 9.23am. She weighed 6lb 9oz - a little smaller than her brother George - and of course she is beautiful.

  7. Congratulations, Paul!

    Up here in Yorkshire they reckon "you're not a real man till you've made a girl."

    Incidentally, Eloise is not really a Damned song, Toque - the 1968 original was by Barry Ryan.

    There's also a Cleaners from Venus song called Clara Bow on their lost classic album from 1987, Going to England.
