A Sunday in Christmastide

After yesterday's computer annoyances, I was glad to attend Canton Benefice united Parish Eucharist at St John's, sit in the congregation with Clare this morning, and just worship. We celebrated the church's Patronal Festival two days late, just right for the occasion.

By the time we got home, Rachel and Jasmine were up and organised to visit Dyffryn Gardens, where we had an al fresco picnic lunch before wandering around house and arbortum. Fortunately the rain stayed away. We used our National Trust Family membership cards to get Jasmine in for free, but her mother had to pay, no longer being classed as a child. Jasmine loved the great open spaces and giant trees, just perfect for climbing, so we enjoyed a very pleasant few hours in the fresh air before sundown. When we returned I cooked paella for supper and Owain came over to eat with us.
