Cycling grandfather (1)

So, a couple of days ago, my daughter phoned me up.   Yesterday this arrived on my doorstep:

This little thingummybob is a 58mm Marmoset Minor, or Marmoset III, if you prefer.  Early days yet, of course.  But if all goes smoothly, I'll be a grandfather in 6 months time.  This in fact is his/her very first appearance on a public forum so you'll have to pardon the back-to-the-camera shyness.

How do I feel?  I think ''eekstatic'' describes the mixture of panic and joy.  But I may turn out to be one of the pioneers of cycling grandfather blogs - fairly unsurprisingly there don't seem to be many at all.  Cue puns about the cycle of life....

A little while later....

Why thanks, but to be honest my own small contribution was made a fair old while ago!
