The Anglican church is still celebrating their 150 years on the island and had yet another parade to mark the occasion, this time re-enacting the arrival of the first Anglican Bishop all those years ago. The plan was for the current Bishop, accompanied by the Cubs, to come around from Ruperts to Jamestown by boat. The sea was uncooperative though with an incredibly rough and high tide, so the boat ride plan got canned and the parade simply started at the landing steps and headed up lower Jamestown to the roundabout, then back down to the Grand Parade area where it was concluded with a short service, which the boys were required to attend. 
Nick, Pam and I left the boys there and went to Pam’s place for lunch. Geoff had taken Maddy around to Ruperts for a Guide’s swimming thing, so he was home alone when we arrived. At 1.30 Nick went to fetch the boys; they had their lunch, I took them to the manse to get dressed in swimming costumes and regular clothes, then drove them back down to the swimming pool where Hannah was having her 8th birthday party. Cindy had produced a beautiful cake with marzipan-sculpted mermaids and other sea creatures which took many days of hard work. 
Pam and I experimented with some black and white photography in town and then walked back down to the pool a little later to fetch the boys (Nick had left during the afternoon to do music with Tammy as usual). Pam and Geoff treated us to pizza again for supper – we were happy to not be at home in the early evening so as to avoid the trick-or-treaters!
