We drove down south for our second granddaughter’s christening. It was a small family affair, the service being performed once again, by the same fabulous locum vicar.
Don’t think we will be able to do such long drives shortly into the future, 5 hours plus stops, was a lot!
We were invited by family (in laws) to tea on the Saturday and had a great relaxing time. A marvellous spread was laid on, enough frankly to feed an army. The baby was in fine fettle, only crying when accidentally biffed in the face by her dad whilst getting changed in the car park, into her long gown. She was a bit sick in the morning so they didn’t want her in it too long beforehand.
Our holiday home was ok but as always, it was great to be back home and in our own beds. Granddaughter 1 was very excited to see us which is always nice. The weather was fine but freezing as it seems to be just lately.
Yes, how ever much we love family get togethers, the sense of relief to be home and in my own bed is always wonderful. It sort of completes the occasion. When my OH was in primary school he was in a play, and had the last line

We frequently say it to one another even now
Congratulations on a new baby's baptism. I am waiting for my daughter to have her first. Very excited.
