I have arrived!






Hi All. I have finally arrived, even if it was four days late - Mum insists I take after my Dad in that respect!! My name is Jock Weary Dunlop and I was born at 11:41am on Wednesday 20th June 2007 weighing in at 7lb14oz. Jock is a mainly Scottish form of the first name Jack (a form of John). We have Scottish descendents on my Grandma and Grandad Power's side and John or Jack was the nickname of both my Great Grandfathers on my Grandma and Grandad Dunlop's side. For those of you unsure of where "Weary" comes from, Sir Edward "Weary" Dunlop was a surgeon in the Australian Army during World War Two. Weary served in the Middle East and is legendary for his care of soldiers taken prisoner by the Japanese. His name and deeds are associated with compassion, courage, steadfastness and hope. When Mum is a bit more organised she will post some more photos of me for you!
