Thanksgiving in the UK

A musical Thanksgiving:

After the St Barnabas Christmas Fair, we all scooted over to Bella's cousin's house- Louisa and Ed Davies.  They are the ones who just moved back to Southfields after 2 glorious years living in New York.

The occasion was a slightly delayed Thanksgiving dinner.  It turned into a fantastic affair.

There was an all hands (American and British) rendition of the Star Spangle Banner, with a full piano accompaniment.

There was a huge turkey, stuffing, sprouts, and sweet potatoes.

There was good wine, Bud beer and a wee bit of Kentucky bourbon afterwards.  

And then we watched football without the pads, or as it is known here- rugby.

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.
