A Phessie under the jacket


All three of us had an interesting walk in the country on Saturday, which ended up with Bella carrying a freshly shot pheasant in her jacket back to the car. Email me if you'd like the whole story.

Suffice it to say that C finding himself on a shoot shouldn't be a big surprise, considering that all three of his Godparents are hunters. Andy is quite the upland bird shooter, Louisa holds a record of some sort for shooting a Kudu in South Africa, and Ubu has quite a few snipe under his belt (as well as a few high quality antique guns).

Don't worry, the Godparents will take care of the boy properly... although I'm not sure about snipe?!

We walked three miles along the beach and through the woods to reach this place.   Once there, we devoured barnacles, goat, fish, steak and razor clams. Washed down with coke, beer and regional white wine. And then grandma's chocolate cake, cheese and honey and coffees for the walk back.

She arrives!

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.
