Two milestones on our way to Dorset

We have squeezed away for a weekend in a cottage in rural Dorset.  On the drive down, C gave us two memorable first  occasions.
First, as we got stopped at a very quick red light, C said "Ah, what the hell?" A shocked Bella and I both turned to him and had a stern word.
Then, in a much better light, C began singing to the pop music we were all listening to. It was a unbashful, reasonably on tune kind of sing-a-long to a Robbie Williams tune.

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.
