Christening
On our way back from Flora's Christening today the timing belt on the car broke and we found ourselves stuck just outside London, waiting for a tow truck to come and rescue us. Thank goodness I wasn't driving at the time because I suspect I would have panicked just a little bit to find myself suddenly driving a car that wasn't responding at all.The only other Christening (other than my own and my sister's which I'm not counting) that I've been to involved similar car troubles. That time we didn't even manage to get out of London - the car just wouldn't start. Cue mad dash to the train station only to find that due to engineering works we could only get so far and had to phone and beg a lift from one of the other guests.
We seem to have this thing about cars and Christenings - I fear God is telling us something...
The Christening was lovely - Adrian and I are now the proud Godparents to Flora. I've already promised shopping trips for unsuitable shoes followed by cocktails when she is old enough. I think that is what a Godmother is supposed to do...maybe that's why our cars keep breaking down.

One of my "Godparents" is a non-godparent. He only accepted the role on the understanding that he could wait outside the church smoking while the whole thing was taking place.
I think you've got the right idea even if your cars don't!
