Mom & Dad Arrive, and then off to Portsmouth

My parents arrived last week for a 3 week tour of duty. The first half of their stay includes time in the country, travels with C and a bit of historic London.

Last week, Dad and Bella went to see the play Warhorse- throughly enjoyed by both.

Then, Dad and I had a few pints in famous City haunts- The Lamb and Jamaica Wine House (opened in 1652). Followed by a fantastic lamb shoulder, cooked by Bells, on Friday night in honour of Dad's belated birthday.

Then Sunday in the country- see previous post.

Now, they have taken C and are roaming around Portsmouth, showing him the old sailing ships.

We then meet them in Tiverton on Thursday, for the long Easter weekend.

A Galician Food Experience

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.
