the dawn of a new day

Last time we were in this place was on Jamie's dedication day. It was so good to be there again, standing together in that special place. And we picked such a good Sunday to be there, because Josh played the guitar and helped lead the singing - hearing his voice reminded me of those amazing operettas. (I imagine that right now a few of you reading these words will be thinking back to some special moment or other from Emmanuel days!) This was also our Jane Austen day, the day we visited Stoneleigh Abbey, the day I took that close-up of Jamie in her peach-coloured Winnie-the-Pooh outfit given to her by her Great Grandpa. And the evening and the morning were the third day!
