Martha at 4 months

Hello again Martha followers,

Since the last entry, Martha and us have undertaken a trip to the UK! For me, this was of great excitement, and even though it was a night flight I could not get to sleep for the anticipation. However, our Martha didn't notice any of it I don't think, as the noise environment of an aeroplane is highly conducive for sleep, and the bumping is what they like anyway. The pressure problems turned out not to be an issue, and even the time difference didn't cause any trouble either, so it was just me that had any problems.

Once in the UK, we embarked on a short baby tour, visiting mainly the grandparents, but we did see several other relations. For the exact relationship between Martha and some relations I had to check on google to discover the correct term. The most exciting visit was to see her greatgrandparents (below) who had a joint 90th birthday party while we were there.

The visit was also of note for the number of curries consumed. Here is Martha on her first trip to a curry house, this one "Spices" is in Datchet.

ps I have just been informed by someone that there is a major grammatical error in this entry. Apparently "Martha and us" should be "Martha and we". I apologise for any distress that this unintentional error has caused to reader(s).
