Day 128 - 10:32am, 8 May 2019
The news story of the day is the world's first glimpse of baby Sussex, or Archie Harrison as he has been named. There's something very endearing about seeing the family unit gathered around a newborn, wrapped up in their bundle of joy, holding them as close as the blanket that they are swaddled in.
They weren't the only new family unit out and about yesterday. Despite the miserable weather, and miserable it was, two proud swans and their nine offspring - you can only see in eight in the photo below, but I am pretty sure despite their constant weaving I counted nine - were to be seen posing for cameras on the Union canal.
Of the two, I know which one impressed me more. Last year, eight out of the nine cygnets made it to through to adulthood. So let's hope by this time next year, all nine will be happy and healthy and ready to fly the nest.
