Without any doubt the best thing that happened after our wedding was the birth of Tommaso. Yes Tommaso is the son of my best friend Gabriele and his beautiful wife Orla. The fact that my best friend has become a father is absolutely great and that he has decided to call him Tommaso nearly had me in tears. Gabriele says the choice of the name had nothing to do with me but I do not believe him as he has asked me to be his godfather. I am absolutely overwhelmed, very touched and honoured. I think this is part of a plan by Gabriele and Orla get me in a more responsible mood so I can quickly catch with them. Who knows, it may work. So yes, the Christening will be the 18th of September in Savona, as a godfather what presents do you think I should give Tommaso? Please make suggestions in the comment section. To see more photos of Tommaso Jr. click here, hopefully Gabriele has had some time to update with more recent ones between a nappy and a bath.
I will find the turtle from my pond for you to smuggle to him - if you're keen...
They live for over 70 years, so it could make a great life-long friend ;)
