Alan Titchmarsh: the joys of grandchildren

Interesting article reflecting on becoming a grandparent, but I particularly like Alan Titchmarsh’s reflections on becoming a dad for the first time –

“When our first daughter was born, there was that all too familiar feeling of complete ignorance and ineptitude. However many books you read, however many birthing or “parenting” manuals you devour, nothing prepares you for reality. It has to be experienced. But you will manage, God willing, relying on intuition, instinct and common sense as much as any instruction book written by an “expert”.”
