We've celebrated Penny's birthday in various ways over the weekend. On Saturday a day trip to York observing the elegance of racegoers and sharing the refinement of afternoon tea at Bettys...
The centrepiece was a wonderful performance of The Railway Children the Rail Museum's Signal box theatre. Happy reminders of reading and watching the film as and with children.
Through today's eyes we saw a story which praised kindness and perseverance in the face of destitution and despair. We noted the affirmative presence of an asylum seeker, the emancipation of women and the injustice that can be meted put by the elite to those who are relatively powerless..
Having said that a great production, very entertaining and moving, especially when the final family reunion scene was accompanied by a real steam engine!
The day itself included morning service at packed Ecclesall parish church with blessings and baptisms as well as copious birthday greetings. A sunny Barbeque with some of the family turned into a wet carpet picnic with Hannah, Tom, Bethany and of course Maisy dog, but nevertheless a great day enjoyed by all.
Happy birthday to a very special person x
