What's funny about the priest, the comedian and the old man who were all up on the stage today? They were the same guy. Except the stage was an altar platform. We brought a candle that was previously at a baptism about 40 yar ago. Yes a reused candle. Now this presented the priest with a whole raft of comedic material from, it is supposed to be burnt to nothing, to we don't take secondhand candles here. It was all mostly because our family was getting the full attention, as we were the only ones on the roll for today. Compared to tomorrow, where five dunkings were scheduled. We arrived with just one god parent, we did not know our lines and we got the answers wrong. Other than that he was quite impressed. When Estelle started signing the cross on everyones forehead well he was without speech. Never in his career of splashing water had he seen that.
There were some drinks and party pies later so a pleasant afternoon was had and the amount of detail that James has spent on the outdoors over there is enormous. There is a seeded bed now, an enclosed broccolinium, a vine bed and an ent that is starting to flower, not to forget the plans for a flower wall. It's not a green thumb but green fingers.
