Our newest grandson Archie was Christened today at St Michaels Church in Aldershot followed by a reception at the Hale Village Hall near Farnham.
The Vicar who conducted the service was the same guy who Christen Ethan some years ago and is a very nice and humorous chap who make the the event important by making it more personal. The event was attended y about 50 friends and neighbours and of course family and we all enjoyed the service. When the Vicar was holding Archie he tried to grab hold of the Vicars microphone and try to eat it which caused some laughter as he attempted several time to do this.
The God parent were the same as Ethan’s and so they were Becky’s sisters and Brother and also Joanne as the fourth godparent. Archie was really excellent and calm during the event and did not seem to worry about having water poured over his head on two occasions. At the reception Archie was handed around quite a bit which he seemed to enjoy the intention.
Unfortunately Jennifer was still suffering from her fall at Woking Community Hospital whilst Noel was trying to get over a bout of Conjunctivitis which meant that NO shaking hands or cuddles with family and children to avoid passing it on. Unfortunately this eye problem Noel had experienced quite a lot in the past when travelling around Asia and it makes him rather tired and so we left the reception a bit early that we would normally have done so .

But it was a very nice event enjoyed by all.
