"Well that went smoothly" Amelia says quietly to me as we exit the church, a sound asleep Juni cradled in her arms. Mum got her wish; Juni is now 'cleansed' and christened and Amelia got her wish; it was done in my family's church. Poppy is her god mother and Max is her godfather, slightly awkward c
