Lucy, meet Grandpa!

Well, it must have been worse than some forms of torture! But it took 5 weeks for Grandpa Walsh to get his first cuddle with little Lucy! And it was only that Kate's time in Australia was running out the he didn't keep hold of her all weekend.

Reminiscent of the trip to Tassie when James was 7 weeks old, and Dad would call time when he judged someone else had held him long enough, Kate stated up front that she would pull rank at any time over the weekend to get her years share of cuddles before jet setting back to the UK!
