Cruising the Thames

It's a Bank Holiday weekend here, so we're enjoying it with family.

Today, we spent most of the day on a 20 foot boat, cruising up and down the Thames.  Bella's relative Margaret Williams acted as Captain of her own boat, but we all got a chance to steer.

We started in Walton-upon-Thames and went up the river towards Weybridge.  After going through a lock (very exciting for the kids), we moored up at a pub for lunch.  On the way back, we all piled out on a island for a stomp around.

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.
