What to do on a  Wednesday in July with a twelve year old daughter?  Well in many other places we’d be sunbathing, but here in Rainy London, we’re home checking the bookmakers odds on questions related to the Royal Birth. We had hoped the birth might be today, to match the birthday of one member of my royal family.   But time is ticking, and i don’t think that is going to happen.  So onto names.

Here’s what we would be betting on:

       If a boy: Spencer or Phillip

       If a girl: Alexandra or Elizabeth

In case you are interested the odds on William and Kate naming the baby Waynetta are 500/1.    The queen is clearly glowing amidst all this excitement- both the imminent baby and Coronation  Festival.  We  spotted this lovely picture of the Queen this week at her garden party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
