We are home again after a quick trip to Christchurch for the weekend. The purpose of the visit was to attend Tristan’s christening on Sunday and the family gathering that followed. There were several bonus activities as well. We all went to a chinese restaurant for dinner on Saturday evening before we went to Noela’s 60th birthday party. Fabulous evening of music and dancing. John and I took Lucy and Tristan home to their beds about 9.00pm. They were really good (and tired) and settled easily. We stayed with my sister Deb. Always good to spend time with her. Christening service was part of the normal morning service. Tim has been with us for a few days as he is Tristan’s Godfather. We will put some photos on soon. Another extra bonus was an extra day in Christchurch. John thought he had booked us home on Sunday evening but when we checked the tickets it was monday. We got some business things done, visited a friend who has been quite ill and had some extra time with our grandchildren. Was cold here this morning. Motels quiet so was a good idea to be inside catching up on the end of month accounts etc.
