Introducing Gordon.
In our bi-lingual family there are often interesting combinations of Dutch and English created. So, after a loooong process to even get as far as a diagnosis of a tumour in Millie’s leg, she decided to refer to it as her ‘gezwel’, or ‘swelling’ in English. After much discussion to find an appropriate name for said gezwel, Millie decided on Gordon. At the time we didn’t know what sort of gezwel he was and were hoping he was a Good Gordon.
Turned out he was Grumpy.

Millie Bean I’m friends with Jane and Simon- my husband Kevin was Simons best man at their wedding. I have been reading the blog and want to wish you the biggest load of positiveness I can send from Australia.
I can’t wait to see the results of your photo shoot – your cousin Charli Beard also keeps me well entertained with her singing and impersonations of Americans in the Deep South – lots of love to you and your family Vicki xxxxx
