Was browsing the BBC website and came across this article about William and Kate receiving a Finnish baby box.

I saw this in the news a few weeks ago, isn't it fab? Look at those cloth nappies too
Would love to see this here, but sadly can never see it happeningThe frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.0 -
