The Christening Party - Minus 1

 

The whole box of slides was devoted to Brenda (second from the right) and her recently sprogged child. But this slide is different in not featuring her crotch-fruit.

Bonus : I was walking past a farm, and a sign said, “duck, eggs”! I thought, “that’s an unnecessary comma”

….and then it hit me!

Baby Name-y Day

 

From the Good Old Days when very (EVERY) child was taken to a church before they were sentient, sprinkled with magical water, and named with whatever name the parents found lest objectionable.  Usually incorporating grandparent or siblings names.

And thus, from 1967, we have the christening of Mary Hildegard Twiggy Sutterthwaite. Nice.

Bonus - RIP Sinead O'Conner.   And her letter to Piers Morgan.

Yup. Good judge of character.

The Mother's Day Mob

 

I don't know who they are or where  they are , but I can tell you when - August 1967  But that's just the film processing date. Maybe the Christening was on Mother's Day.

Bonus - 

The Baptism of Marilyn Manson

A bit of a coup, this slide.

I was passed it by the neighbour of Marilyn Manson's gardener's parole officer. Or his wife, to be honest.

She was given it in exchange for a plate of cookies....and it was revealed that the little lad in white is...Marilyn Manson.

Or so I believe.

Bonus - The Morality of Banking in It’s a Wonderful Life

Bonus 2 - 100 years ago: Owls brave the trenches in search of mice

Christening with The Aunties

And very proud they all look.

(Help, I'm slipping into Yoda-speak.)


Bonus -
Breakfast of Champions

The Christening

 Their mind is set - it's a combination of traditional names from both sides of teh family.

Gaylord Adolf Beelzebub Elizabeth O'Malley.

Oh boy....

Bonus -

Nice Hat...........Not !

A hat can complete an outfit.

Eleanor's hat doesn't.

It looks like plastic plant pot.  Bad choice.
