Hertford

Sunday gave us an opportunity to meet friends that we have not seen in five years as we drove from Exeter to Hertford and back in a day for a one hour dedication ceremony and an hour and a half of coffee and chat.

We attended the methodist church there where there seems to be a vibrant church full of young children and babies. The star of the show spent much of the time crawling around behind the lecturn or being passed from parent to parent. This one is going to be an explorer.

We got a chance to hold him at one point but he was far more interested in the map of the world than in us. Perhaps the fact that his parents were born 12,000 miles apart has something to do with it. He has northern and southern hemisphere genes in his body.

Today is bank holiday monday and I cannot remember the last time we had no plans for such a day but school starts quickly this season as Dawn is back to work tomorrow so today will be the day of rest in place of yesterday.
