Lay another place at the tea table

Apologies for the radio silence - we've been a bit busy here around The Teapot.
Tractorboy has a new little sister.
This event has been the cause of a great deal of travelling, visiting and general hullabaloo.

She was born the day before 'Children in Need', which is why Tractorboy looks like a plague victim - he had his face painted at nursery.
