Anyone like a slice of Christening cake?
I have some left over from Sunday, what a beautiful day we had, the sun shone and it was almost as warm as summer. We shared the day with over fifty friends and family plus fifteen little ones.The village Church is very old and our mumber swelled the congregation ( very small village) who were very welcoming.Baby Prudence was asleep most of the service and did not cry when she awoke to Father Robert pouring Holy water over her head but actually smiled and clapped her hands!I was holding her older sister aged three, who said rather loudly" what is the green man doing to my little sister?" (Father Roberts robes were green and gold!)
It was a lovely service followed by a lunch in the Church Hall.
My daughter and son in law are so pleased to have moved into this village, everyone is so friendly without being nosey, and quite a few neighbours joined us for lunch.
Billy and I had entertained fourteen family on Saturday evening so we had a great family get together weekend, sorry Peter, no Pavlova left!
