Last week Friday the 25th of October (Shona's 30th birthday) at fourteen minutes past six in the evening, our little boy Francis was born, weighing in at a healthy 6lbs 10oz. With big blue eyes and a full head of silver blonde hair he immediately won our hearts. Shona, Samwise and I couldn't be happier. Our lives have changed dramatically, and we're enjoying every second with our little guy, even if it's at 3 in the morning. We're over the moon.
OCTOBER WAS FUN.
Samwise went viral... like for reals.
It's important to practise what you preach once in a while. I decided to combine two of the most powerful topics (food & animals) on social media together for Samwise's birthday and this is what it looked like. In total across all social media channels it was viewed over 11 million times!
