A Good Reason

My visit to Surrey last weekend,

 was an occasion,

 I had been looking forward too for awhile,

 besides other familymembers.

My niece's baby is now just over a year old,

 but last Sunday was her special Day,

 with her Naming Ceremony!

An occasion that was attended by family & close friends.

Fortunately,

the weather was more than kind

 with a very warm &  sunny day.

The gazbeo was decorated in fabric bunting,

 a lovey summer collection of flowers,

 & to help mark the day,

the parents also included a Cross stitch cushion,

 I had made with Eliana's name,

an appropriate sign for the day.

A registrar was also in attendence

 to ensure the occasion was official.

A collection of readings & poems,

 dedicated to Eliana & her up-bringing,

 read by people that was the closest to her,

was a momentous part of the ceremony.

The occasion,

 represented as

 a wonderful garden party,

which had been hoped for!

The special little lady ,

was more than please to seek,

 the delights of her toy box,

 after the ceremony!

But,

Smudge,

 the family dog,

 was certainly eager,

 at the start to sit & wait,

 for the celebrations!!!

Overall,

I was most honoured to be involved with all preparations,

not only to make the bunting & cushion,

 but also to be asked to be a Supportive Adult during Eliana's life!
