The assembled masses in the church
A Christening, Wilford, Northamptonshire - 22nd May 2011
It's the Christening of Thomas, formerly of Worlingworth, and baby brother to Fred's girl Elizabeth. The gig is in an attractive private estate church near Wilford in the depths of Northamptonshire and is followed by tea at the farmhouse, which includes a vast amount of cake. We take the campervan over for what is probably its longest journey so far, however Isobel feels a bit ill when we get there so bails out to a soft, warm bed, leaving Nosher to make the most of having driven all the way there at no more than 65mph.
