Spotted this on Google Maps today. It’s amazingly clear, and looks pretty large. A quick Google shows I’m not the first to spot it, and the photo was probably taken by a plane at about twice the altitude of the airliner.

Oscar John Russell
February 5th, 2012Oscar John Russell was born at 0015, 5th February 2012 (by c-section). He weighed in at a hefty 4.28kg (that’s 9 lb 7!). It was a long labour, and very tiring for Caroline, but Oscar was calm and healthy throughout, and Caroline did a tremendous job!
Thanks everyone for moral support, prayers and well-wishing.
Especially big thanks to John, our neighbour, for stepping in where our car failed, to my mum for coming down from Rotherham to help but then being stuck alone for 13 hours in the hospital 🙁 and to the midwives, doctors, anaesthetist and many assistants at The Lister delivery unit that got Oscar out of Caroline safely.
Thanks for joining in our labour!

February 5th, 2012Preparing for theatre
February 5th, 2012We’re all fine. Caroline is very tired but not been in bad pain. She’s being prepared for theatre now. They’ll do an epidural then try instrumental and do c-section if that doesn’t work.
Oscar’s head is a bit skewif, which is maybe why its been a difficult delivery.
Looks like Oscar’s birthday will be Feb 5, not 4th :p
Next stage starts at 11
February 4th, 2012Oscar has until 11 to arrive, otherwise we’ll start considering an instrumental delivery or Caesarian-section.
He’s still doing very well with a good heartbeat. Caroline is tired from a very long second stage of delivery (over 6 hours now!)
All doing fine but would like to be done soon!
Thanks for all your messages and prayers
Sixth time lucky and the drip is in
