Hello Friends
I do hope you are having a good spring; we have been having great fun. After watching all you children having fun on May Day dancing around the Maypole, we thought that we could do the same. So, Parchina and I gathered some friends together and with Dad and Mum’s help we managed to make a great Maypole for ourselves and we spent a ovely afternoon Maypole dancing in the church yard. Oh, we had such fun, but we weren’t as good as the children on May Day; we need Mrs Morris to teach us! We got very tangled in one dance and poor Parchina was tied to the pole with the ribbons, but she laughed and laughed and wouldn’t keep still so it made it difficult to untie her.
We were exhausted and had to have a long drink of the yummy nettle lemonade which Grandma makes for special occasions and we munched through piles of seed cake too. It was a lovely afternoon and we hope we can do it again. If we practise we may be nearly as good as the children at school. I’m not sure our singing will ever be as good as theirs. We love to hear them when they come into church on a Thursday, they’re much better than the adults on a Sunday, hee hee! We thought they were particularly good when they came to church on Ascension Day for a much longer service and we also learnt a lot as Reverend Cate explained all the different parts of the service.
We also enjoyed seeing little Sebastian christened on Whit Sunday, which we believe is a very special day? Someone said something about the birthday of the church but we didn’t see any birthday cake with candles. There were some
nice crumbs left for us after the celebration though.
The sun is shining and it looks as if it’s going to be a nice day, so Parchina and I are going to do some tree climbing so we’d better go now. See you soon.
Love, Parchie and Parchina
