The three girls I’ve been preparing, made their First Commmunion today. The youngest one was so shy! They all looked lovely. I’d love to post a photo of them on here, but I’d better not. Instead, here is a picture of the little bags I made for their pressies to go in.

 The church looked lovely. Beautiful flowers, and there was tea/coffee and cake laid on. Also, flowers for me. I just love this parish. I loved the last, but it was enormous - I sometimes had over 80 children to prepare for FHC. (Not on my own of course - up to 12 catechists) Here, it’s much more like a family. I always seem to go for small things. I like small flower arrangements, haiku, things like that. For my photography panel at the end of the OU course I am thinking of going for a theme of overlooked things. Like weeds, rust. Things that are beautiful when you look properly. BTW I got 98% for my Computer Marked Assignment. It’s only worth 10% but that’s a good nine points under my belt.

It’s Ali’s birthday today. I can’t believe my little baby is 39. And so domesticated. She didn’t get it from me. We’ve tried ringing her, but she may actually be at Mass (!) as Liam made his Communion a fortnight ago. Or maybe out for the day celebrating her birthday. Oh well. We’ll be in touch this evening.

Last thing to post today is the following photo. Goose for Sunday lunch anyone?
