Earlier that Monday, Sarah and Russ Bibby had got on the phone to the midwife. 'Don't even think of driving. Call an ambulance.' Half an hour later they were on their way from Constantine to Treliske with Sarah in the ambulance and Russ following in the car.
The ambulance pulled off the road into a field gateway to check Sarah over. Russ waited until the head popped out of the ambulance.He rushed over to see what was happening and another, much smaller, head popped out to greet the world. When all had recovered from the shock, the para-medic mumbled, 'I suppose I shall have to fill in another patient entry form', as they drove their way on to Treliske, comforting the new Mum.
Welcome to the world Hannah May Bibby: a sister for Charlotte. You little bundle of 8lb 2oz joy. You certainly gave your parents a surprise.
Why not add Treverva to your names in memory of that field gate? Will you grow up to become a farmer and what will you put on your birth certificate under 'Place of Birth'?
