Harry Clarke's birth by twitter

Jun82009

Might come back and update this one with more details...

I was twittering from my phone from the hospital. Could not see any of the replies or even if my messages were getting out there... Might come back and add to this post, fill in the details and reorder this... then again might not, can see me bit busy.

I'm at home again today, had to leave Clare and Harry at the hospital, she's on a ward again and I'm not allowed to stay. They are both doing amazingly well, they are both brilliant, I am so happy.

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become. If you want a gig listed click here to add it (fixed now!), or just click here to post a message...
