osprey_archer | A Festival of Conviality

I found my camera uploading cord! Hooray, it is picture time. This first one is from the Jane Austen tea, which Emma and Micky and I had over Christmas break. Aside from the name, it was not very Austenian: we had cucumber sandwiches and ham & brie sandwiches, and chocolate cherries, and tea.

The teapot in the background was my twice great aunt's. Usually it sits behind glass on the sideboard, being picturesque.

Last night at Stonehenge (Emma lives in Stonehenge. It is a successor state to Camelot) we had a turkey dinner. The turkey did not finish cooking till midnight, so until then we amused ourselves with sweet potato fries, rice with mushrooms, and no-bake cookies; and Emma French-braided my hair.

I should name my apartment. We tried to call it Shalott, as in "the lady of," but as I never lived in Camelot, it never seemed to take. Emma lives in Stonehenge (and before that in Avalon; but that didn't work out), and Micky lives in the Little Blue House; I begin to feel left out.

On the other hand, my car is the Silver Steed. We all shout "Hi ho, Silver!" whenever we go anywhere.
