Ben's Baptism

The 5th November - a special day for many reasons, my late Grandad's birthday, Guy Fawkes Night and now Ben's Christening.

Everything went really well. The service was a little long-winded but aren't they always and Ben spent most of his time by the pulpit slapping me about the head with the programme but that's about par for the course really.

After the service everyone came back to our house for a little party. Thank goodness the weather was nice because we seemed to have invited a fair few people.


All the kids played together really nicely and the adults didn't do too bad either. Amy & Ollie especially liked sneaking away up the stairs with a big tin of Roses!

Sylvie made a beautiful cake which was too lovely to cut - well almost.

We got to see Natalie, Kev & James again too which was nice. James is a little sweetie and was completely unfazed about being surrounding by loads of people he didn't even know.

Many thanks to Ben's lovely new godparents Paula & Daniel for doing such a splendid job. I look forward to sending him your way for spiritual realignment when he gets arrested for drunken behaviour at junior school!
