Sunday is here, it's dull and cold, even inside Starbucks it's chilly. I'm on a strict schedule this morning, hair and make-up are done, presents wrapped, sat nav located, (the irony was not lost.) I need to pick up a couple of things as soon as the shops open at 10.30am, then get home for a quick change into one of two outfits and head back out to the Church for the Christening of Amelie Sophia. Which ever outfit I choose, I'll be a vision in pink as both outfits are pink, well, I'll be in pink anyway. Mostly looking forward to today, I have the usual slight anxiety as I get every time I have to go to an event alone, you really would think I'd be used to it by now wouldn't you? Anyway, once I arrive, I should see a few friendly faces.
I got there in plenty of time but everyone was already there. Had a trauma parking, but at least I wasn't late. Service was lovely and not too long, baby was an angel and as good as gold. Got lost getting from Church to venue, then took forever to park, nevertheless, got there eventually, can I just mention that negotiating killer heels over cobbles takes skill. There was a lovely mix of family, mostly my cousin's, their in law's who I last saw at respective weddings and their friends. It was great to see my cousins. Every time I have a conversation with one of my cousin's who is 7 years younger than me, despite his height, his marriage and a few laughter lines around his eyes, I always see the little boy who was such a pain in the behind :) He broke things, he dived in front of cameras just before the click, he bit into tumblers, oh yes, he was a pain, but I wouldn't change a thing and it's always great to catch up and see what he's been up to. He leaves for work in Dubai in the morning.
Not sure when we'll be together like that again, I did try to talk Amelie's Dad into a first birthday party so, fingers crossed.
Congratulations to the All Blacks, Rugby World Champions! Hope that you're celebrating, you should be proud x
