I have just named my new born daughter Tiny Enid. She came out with a club foot and smoking a cigarillo, so I didn’t have much choice did I?
A challenge for Claire’s next confinement: to summon the existential courage to be delivered of an intoxicated Germanic badger, and *not* call it ‘Little Severin’.
