Baby Kate goes home to Lundy

Lundy’s youngest and newest inhabitant arrived last week on the island from the mainland in the “Lundy Gannet,” quite unperturbed by the rough weather.

She is Katherine Jane, daughter of Mr and Mrs John Ogilvie, of Barton Cottages on the island. She was born on the mainland on October 1st.

Baby Kate spent the three hours on the trip in a carry-cot on deck, carefully watched by her parents who have made their home on the island since their marriage nearly six years ago. Mr Ogilvy is farm bailiff on Lundy. His wife Penny is the only daughter of Dr and Mrs William Ruddock of Bideford, Dr Ruddock being doctor to the island.
