I had the honour today of becoming Godfather to Frederick Gates Reed. He's my cousin's youngest boy and was Christened in a freezing church in rural Wales (where global warming is yet to arrive).
The service was interesting, given the presence of about 15 under-fives, and at points resembled a game of team catch (parents vs. children). When some of the more spirited boys starting splashing each other with holy water from the font, intervention was inevitable. After that it was back to Mark and Liz's house for a huge lunch - beef casserole, mashed potatoes, pavlova and...Banoffee Pie.
Welcome to Wales.
Here's the boy!
