These three photoes show Amelia and Ruby, parrot tulips (overshadowed by your blogger), and Lucy with Ruby. Sarah and the two younger children accompanied us to church this morning. Family service, and then the baptism of Paul and Sheba's son, Thomas. A good service that interested the children. Before the service Lucy helped John Everett, the churchwarden, to light the candles, and afterwards Guy helped to snuff them out. Roast beef, yorkshire pudding, etc. for lunch, followed by apple and apricot pie. Lovely lunch, much appreciated by all. Afterwards played nine mens' morris with guy. He was a little out of practice and I managed to win two games out of the three, all of them well fought struggles. Guy really is becoming a sportsman. He is doing a project on the Romans in history at school. So I dug him out a bronze denarious of Hadrian, and a rather battered roman ring- key for a lady's casket. Guy was very taken with them both, but he offered to return the key to me after the project is done. I told him it wasn't particularly valuable due to its condition, so he was welcome to keep it, which he agreed to do, with an air of relief, and looking as if he felt that honour had been satisfied on both sides. Sarah, Mikey, and family set out for home at about five o'clock. We are both feeling a bit tired, but very relaxed, and with a feeling that we've had a lovely weekend. We've both now got a good deal of tidying away to do. Goodnight all.
