Thank you Linda. Don't worry, I know that I'm out on the fringe and believe it or not, when I can smother my jealousy on my better days, I am thrilled by the great strides made by my colleagues in more accepting countries. I have a daughter, with red hair and a big mouth, who is a fervent believer in homebirth and as lactnutty as any of us, who wants to be a midwife and of course supply me with grandchildren - I do my best for what I can do to help women, and look towards a very much brighter future, led by all our daughters.
