At St Albans

My girl wanted us to go to St Albans to have a look at the morning morket and at the same time, she wanted to show me the cathedral whereby her convocation would be held. 

we waited for the bus
at the bus stop opposite Galleria where I stopped when I first reached Hatfield.

Not long after, we reached St Albans..Here's a glimpse of the morning market.
We walked past the cathedral 
and came to a pond..
After our slow stroll along the side of the pond,
 we decided to get a bouquet of flowers ready for her convocation.
Bought the flowers at M & S nearby St Albans morning market place.
Then we took the bus back to Hatfield and dropped down at Asda.
Bought thermal wear for myself
as Scotland would be very cold.

The next day which was a Sunday, we attended my girl's church anniversary.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
