As some of you may know, Tamlyn is my daughter, now twenty-four years young and residing in Glenrothes, Scotland, with her fiance whom I call "Scott-in-Law".
Why is it going to be Tamlyn Year? Because of three main reasons...
Firstly, Tamlyn and Scott-in-Law will be arriving in Cape Town on 3rd April 2011 for a couple of weeks holiday. Woohoo...no more need be said about that, it is going to be great!
Secondly, they will be getting married at Cape Point on the 14th. While everyone thinks Cape Point is the southernmost part of the African continent, alas it is not. That honour falls to Cape Agulhas, just over an hour's drive from Cape Point. It is, however, a far more beautiful part of the tip of Africa than Agulhas is, and a fitting place for the two of them to get married. Alternatively, it is quite the spot to throw Scott-in-Law from if he gets cold feet at the last minute...but I digress...
Thirdly, about a year ago, Tamlyn had a miscarriage and I know it affected her deeply (as it did Scott-in-Law as well, no doubt). When we spoke on Christmas Day 2010, Tamlyn again advised me that she was just over four weeks expectant/pregnant, this time with little "Noodle". She tells me she is feeling much better than last time, healthier, more assured that this time she is going to carry full term. Even better, Noodle is expected to appear either on my birthday, or the day after. How cool would that be if we had the same birth date?
Tamlyn has started up a blog-diary to keep track of events leading up to the birth of Noodle. If you're interested, follow it here.... I, for one, will be reading it regularly and keeping up to date with goings-on...
So, needless to say, the next four months or so are, in some respects going to drag by slowwwwwwly, but in others are going to fly by at the speed of a smelly fart.
I'm really looking forward to them...the end of the four months, that is, not the smelly fart...

Steve, we will have to lift some serious glasses of good Scottish beverages to celebrate all this. Btw my great niece & I I share a birthday, and I have given her all the years that we have shared - I am still 55 and she is now 10, but still not at school! It was great spending time with you guys. Many thanks & congratulations to Tamlyn and SIL!.... Aubrey
That is why you have to come and fish with us. You will be back on the second of April.
This is fantastic. You blogging again!!! But I digress, that's great news, both the wedding, and the pasta dish!!!
Maybe I can arrange my road trip to coincide with the "accidental" fall off the cliff... mmmm.... will see what I can do!
